Hi all,
I have a King Keg with what I think is S30 connection. I'm thinking of buying a corny keg system in addition - I'll use the king keg for real ale types and the corny for lagers or american IPAs. As far as I can see you can run a big, pub style CO2 tank into a corny keg, or get a converter for a soda stream type. I'd like to just have one CO2 source to worry about.
So: am I right in thinking that a sodastream bottle is not the same connector as an S30? Is the usual connection from a big tank different from both? Is there a way to have one gas source for both king keg and corny? Is the setup I'm thinking of silly?

The Sodastream bottle is not the same connector as S30.
You will have a "regulator" to get the pressure down, then connect that up to kegs using whatever is suitable. John Guest connectors are popular (I think they are naff, but I'm just out-of-step with "what's popular").
Bottles containing liquid CO2 have a lot of pressure. About 860 PSI. Get a big cylinder and that is a lot of gas at 860 PSI! Do it right!

And of course I missed the comprehensive info written by PeeBee! Thanks both for writing it and pointing me in the right direction.

There's not "both", just me (thank goodness the others are thinking, we don't want two PeeBees, one is more than enough). I wrote the guide too.

Having just checked this on my logarithmic quantum deep dive calculator I've worked out that even half a PeeBee would be too much. The optimum amount for high quality brewing seems to be one quarter of a PeeBee.

Sommeliers recommend that you swirl a glass of wine and inhale its bouquet before throwing it in the face of your enemy.
