Hello,
I have just finished my keezer - 6 tap (3 for now). I have a 20lb outside CO2 tank with a single primary regulator. I was going to add a T after this, with one branch on another regulator for outside force carbing, and another that goes into the keezer to a second secondary regulator. This would then split 3x for my three different beers - yea all at the same pressure for now. Then in the future I would add another regulator or two inside the keezer for other beers at different pressures.
Questions:
- does the main primary have to be set at 30 psi, so that the other secondary regulators could be set at 10-25 PSI?
- if I have the one main regulator at 30 pSI could I just skip the outside secondary regulator that would be for force-carbing and maybe move that regulator inside the keezer for beers at other PSI?
- I know it's recommended - should I get shut-off valves for inside the keezer? I also do not have check-valves anywhere and am a bit worried about this, but if the outside primary ref is at 30 PSI then I think that is enough to prevent backflip from keezer cronies that are all at 10 PSI. One of my future upgrades would be a manifold with shutoff valves and check valves for the lines to the kegs.
Thanks for the help!!
