Multiple kegs in fridge, can it be done?

[flying_spoon]

I was wondering if it was possible to hook three 1/6 barrel kegs up to the same CO2 system and still properly dispense the beer? Is it as simple as running a three way air distributor then tapping the kegs normally? If this will work does anyone have a good guess at what pressure I should be running? Thanks in advance.

This is possible as long as each beer is the same carbonation level. If they all are carbonated from the brewery at 2.5 volumes, set pressure at 14 psig at 38 degrees F at sea level.

Thanks for the info. Is there a way to find out what a beers carbonation level is aside from contacting the brewery?

I do it all the time. If you go through 'em fast you can fudge the pressure a bit, though the one that requires more may go a bit flat towards the end. I've had good luck with most of the micros I've run but their usually in the same pressure and temp ballpark. I've kept multiple sixtels on for 45-60 days, though a month is more commmon.

YMMV

Or you could invest in secondary regulators and enjoy every ounce of beer from each of your kegs if the pressures are set up correctly. Steer clear of the micros who do not understand your request for carbonation levels. They either cannot keep this flavor spec constant or do not know what it means as to dispensong success.
