cornelius system setup

[wyobouldering]

I have a couple quick questions. I am upgrading my homebrew kegging system. I currently run only one cornelius keg at a time through a picnic faucet located inside the fridge. I'm planning on upgrading to run three corny kegs through the door. I plan on having one keg dedicated to homemade soda for the wife and kids, and rotating two beers through the other kegs.

1) should I upgrade my co2 canister to a 10# canister?

2) how do I set up the secondary regulators to be able to individually adjust each keg's pressure?

Thanks for your time.

If your existing cylinder is a 5# cylinder, this should be fine. Expect to dispense close to 25 to 30 of the Cornelius kegs. This is providing you have no leaks and pressures to vessels are approx. 12-16 PSIG. You may want to purchase a 3-way regulator bank and install to acquire independent pressures for each keg. Set primary regulator to approx. 30 PSIG and then connect pressure line to the 3-way bank and then set individual pressures accordingly.
