I have 2 corny kegs with ball lock attachments but the kegerator that I purchased comes with a sankey type D coupler. I plan on using both these types of kegs/couplers and I was wondering if there is an easy way to switch from one system to another.
Cory kegs will be used for home brew and the 1/2 barrels for Labatt and Molson products.
I have same set up. What I did was buy a "y" or "T" splitter for the C02 line, which I split on the inside of the kegerator. One C02 line is connected to ball lock in connection, the other to the Sankey Coupler. I then purchased a picnic faucet (link below) which I have connected to the ball lock out connection. My faucet on my tower is connected to the sankey coupler. Eventually, I will upgrade to a 2 faucet tower, and will have both beer lines connected to faucets on tower.
I have a similiar set up. I T'd the gas line to accomodate the sanke and the ball lock but I created a whole new run a hose for the different couplers since I don't usually have sanke kegs tapped. This way I can change out the couplers when I need to. Keep in mind I have a fridge conversion kegerator so it is a little different if you have a tower set-up.
