How many volumes of CO2 would be best for carbonating my Kolsch? Another question is what's the best way to carbonate two kegs off the same CO2 tank that require different pressures from the regulator to reach the desired CO2 volume? Thanks for any advice you all have! Cheers

I like to use this site or beersmith's guidelines:

Looks like for you, you're looking at 2.7 volumes for a Kolsch (According to Northern Brewer)
The only way to have two different pressures on two different kegs is to have a regulator that allows two serving pressures.

technically, you will need multiple regulators, but they can be ganged together.
I will say from my experience, that I got tired of trying to work with different pressures, and I now use the same pressure for all my beers, meads, and ciders. I do keep my sodas at a different pressure.
This allows me to just use one of my manifolds, and swap around the gas disconnects when gassing up the kegs, and I don't have to worry about which one is getting which one. This also means I don't have to worry about leaks as much. The more fittings you have, the more likely you are to not only have a leak, but also develop a leak over time.
