Morebeer / Duotight Gas Manifold Board?

[BrewDrinkRepeat]

Anyone using this? I'm thinking about getting one, my primary goals being a.) being able to force carb a keg without disconnecting the other three, and b.) having some beers at different pressures (something I don't currently do, but would like to)

Curious as to how well it works (specifically the mini-regulators), how good all the connections are, and where you have it mounted (inside the kegerator, or outside).

For reference: I have a KOMOS four-tap kegerator, and right now I'm running one line into the kegerator and using the three-way Ts to split it into four gas lines, all at the same pressure. I do have the Kegland flow-control liquid QDs on all four kegs.

I have one that I just put together. Haven’t installed it yet. Have a cream ale coming up that will be the first on the current setup. Seems nice for the price. I have heard sometimes the blow tie isn’t super accurate but “close enough” so might the same with these. But I think being in the ball park is the most important thing in this application.

Btw, the board itself has always been out of stock when I checked. I just bought the individual components and put it together.

Close enough is definitely OK for me, esp. since I have the flow-control QDs. (Or, so I would think anyway!)

Sorta. Due to space and kegerator interior layout I built my own from the parts. So far I have been very happy with it.even though I might not always need the ability to have different pressures I like the control.

Just built and installed this a couple days ago. Swapped all the regulators for the digital version. So far so good. Changing liquid side as soon as the new shanks arrive.

Rather than using so many connections (possible leaks) I use the following which connects direct to the Duotight system + easier to set up

Glad it works for you.
I had looked at that route but decided I trusted the duotight fitting not to leak. I also wanted my check valve to be the last position in line before the keg so the regulators weren’t at risk.

I got one in February 2024 - 6 line manifold. I replaced the pressure gauges for 0-15 psi (vs 0-60 psi which is hard to read) . I've had no problems and use the "extra" for carbing while lagering. My range is 8-10 psi for a heavy brown ale and 12-14 psi for a pilsner

Thumbs up so far for me

I assembled and installed mine about 4 months ago. I have it mounted inside the fridge with the CO2 tank outside. I obsessively checked for leaks after installing it. Everything appears to be operating as advertised and I’m happy I bought it.

How did you mount it? I'm trying to figure out the best place while still having 4 kegs in the kegerator.

I have had mine for over a year. Works great though the gauges are kinda sketchy... It takes some tweaking to get serving/carb pressure correct.

My mounting? Inside the keezer, I just put some long finishing nails into the wood collar and bent the nails so the manifold is slightly angled and easy to read. This allows me to easily move the manifold out of the way if I need too. It sits above the kegs.

I bought one of these thinking it would look a little more organized vs. my homemade one, but I would have had to cut it down to make it fit so I never bothered. It is sitting on a ledge next the kegerator not being used. I just cut a small piece of plywood, spray painted it black and mounted all my stuff to the back of the kegerator. I have corresponding zip ties on the faucets so I know which is controlling what. The empty one is for the extra line I have hanging from the tank which I use for transfers, clearing lines, etc.

I ended up cancelling my draft board order after it was on back order long after I got the kegerater. I ultimately decided that I just didn't like the cheap plastic regulators - too fiddly to dial in a specific pressure and general dislike of the build quality plus the high number of duotight connections.

I've instead opted to build it out of Tapright 1600 series regulators from eBay. It's much larger and heavier but with far fewer tubing connections and I feel better about the quality. I'm limiting myself to $30/regulator delivered and so far have 8 of the 9 I need (8 taps plus one outside takeoff). Will be mounted on a sliding board on the back of the kegarater. I'll post a picture when complete in the next couple of weeks.

I agree, below is what I have done. The gas lines are routed to the back and are inline with the associated keg to avoid coiled up tubing inside.

I upgraded to a 6 tap Kegerator a few months ago. The 3 tap system, I had for years was regulated by a multi- gauge Kegco system. For space purposes, I went with the Duotight 6 regulator board. Like anything, a learning curve to get the settings right. Overall, no issues. Never a leak. For me a good choice.

That's what I use too. A little bit of a learning curve to get things set properly but same here. No problems or leaks
