Hello,
Just putting together plans to run a second keg off my 5lb C02 tank. I can squeeze a second keg in the fridge... I usually used this space for lagering/aging, but this is my question: What is the best way to add a picnic tap to run both kegs simultaneously? I know I can use a "T" connector to run both kegs off my single regulator, but does this means two kegs have to be on the line at all times? I have a single tap tower on my fridge, so the second tap would have to be a simple QD -> picnic tap. I would like to have the option to shut off the second keg, just can not think of how this would be possible with a simple T connector. I feel like it would require some sort of a shutoff valve.
Also, what are your thoughts on running all beers off the same C02 setting? I wouldn't really mind serving/carbing all beers at the same level, but I do brew in several styles... Not really a concern to me, but if there is a cheap/easy way to regulate each keg individually, that would be an option.
Is there any difference in the time it takes to force carb two kegs at the same time? I don't see why it would, but I am just making sure. I usually give it a week and a half or so at around 10-12PSI.
Thanks for the advice.
