Splitting gas line

Post by cavanor »

Been wondering if it is possible to split the gas line. Not necessarily at different pressures, just have 2 kegs being gassed / pouring pressure at the same time.

Yes it is, you just need a gas manifold

Helps to have separate valves on the manifold for each gas outlet

i have done this also, and just used a T-piece. I therefore gas the second keg at the pouring pressure, which is fine as long as you leave the keg connected for enough time.

Only issue i have found is when going from an ale in one keg and to a wheat beer in the second.. the wheat beer required a higher pressure.

My pressure is pretty much kept at 110kPa
MMMMMM... Beer

I run mine using a t piece only and it works fine.

If you want different pressures on the kegs then use a manifold and different regs.

In the end both methods work, you have more control with a manifold and regs though.

SMC air fittings such as T or Y piece work a treat
