Default 5 tap system

i'm tring to run a 5 keg system. 2 corny and 3 sankey. i have all the equipment except a c02 manifold. my problem is regulating the pressure for different beers. i would like to be able to do this outside the fridge. i dont want to have to open the fridge to adjust the pressure everytime someone wants a beer. any ideas would help.

How many reglators are you going to use one? if all restriction lines are the same you should be in good shape when you say mannifold do you mean distributor inside the box? What is a corny?

Placing regulators outside of the box should not be an issue. Seal each line going into the box to prevefnt loss of cooling. If your temperature can be maintained, you really should not have to adjust often. Can you catagorize the types of beers into groups of two or three in terms of carbonation levels?

If so, possible you could use less secondaries such as as two or three pressure set up and then split with a distributorinside the box.
