Newb Question

[kurney]

Hi all,
as this is my first post i should give a bit of background on my setup! i've been browsing the forum for a couple months, good ol' google sent me here! at first i attempted to convert a small bar fridge, after i blew a freon line, i changed my mind. so i decided to pick up a 3.6 freezer, danby, and use that. there's nothing special to my setup, very standard actuall. most of my parts came from a relative who manages a restaurant, the co2 tank, freezer temp regulator, and co2 gauges came in from micromatic a couple weeks back. i've been experiencing the same issues as others, with the extra foam on first pour, and i'm considering some cooling options for the tower. this leads me to my question.

the tower my uncle hooked me up with has one faucet, with the opening for a second. i'd like to add that second and run a different keg with my system. how easy is this? do i just have to run a second line from the co2 tank then just run the same lines i did to connect the first keg? i know i'd need a second coupler and hoses...but what other parts would i need? basically i'm hoping someone can tell me this is as easy as i think it is, and what i'd need to do this. i've seen the beer tube "y", is there a similar item for the co2 connection??


thanks for any help you can provide.

As long as the two beers you use require the same co2 pressure, you'd be fine with that, but if you do have beers that need different pressure, micromatic sells this 'dual regulator', which runs two regulators off of one co2 tank. If I were setting up a bar or something, I'd probably pick this MM regulator anyways, because frankly, it looks good/professional, in my opinion. But if it were something for my garage, and I didn't need varying pressures, I'd try the cheap route. But again, if you have different beers, you may find that a 1 or 2 PSI variation may be necessary to get a good pour from one vs the other, and if you have them both running off the same regulator, it would be impossible to change one and not the other.

thanks Cubby!

i'll more than likely go with that option as i'm sure at some point i'll be pouring two different drafts that'll require different psi's!!
