    Exclamation 2nd Keg installation issues

    I have had a single keg system for years and never had any problems. I decided to add a second handle so I could have a 1/4 barrel of a Easy Street Wheat for variety. My thinking was that I could put put a T in the cO2 line and add another tap and be set. I have always run 1/2 barrels (usually Bud Light). The problem I am having now is that one keg runs way fast and with alot of pressure and the other barely trickles. I have switched taps and hoses around thinking that I have a parts issue but nothing seems to work. I am beginning to think that the 2 keg sizes might need different pressure or do I just need a seperate regulator for each keg? Any help would be much appreciated.

    i looked long and hard into this and it appears the best bet is to get a 2 pressure secondary regulator (micromatic part #3022) for the gas. i am installing this as we speak and will let you know by the end of the week how well it works. note it is heavy as all and i am building a small rig to mount this and the primary regulator without having to put holes into my unit, always looking for an excuse to use a circular saw!

    good luck!
