I have three cornies, but only two hoses for my CO2 tank. I'm thinking about priming a keg with corn sugar some day, but am wondering if I need to seel it up with a couple psi after adding the sugar. It would make sense to me, to keep out any extra oxygen, but the reality is, I have no idea what I'm doing!

Yes, I would like to know how to do this too. I bought some extra kegs, so if I could pre-carb a couple of them before the other kegs run out where I could just quick clean the lines and change the keg I would be very happy.
 
Thats what I do. Prime with sugar and then hit the keg with 15-20 psi, bleed it out 2-3 times to purge any O2, then seal it. Seems to work fine
 
prime a corny keg with 1/3 cup of priming sugar..and then hit it with 3-4psi for about a week...should be good to go.
