100% CO2 I would say, rather than a CO2/Nitrogen mix.

Er, I didn't see any mention of nitrogen :roll:

I think he's talking about splitting one gas supply (c02) between two beers in a keg (corny I hope as plastic kegs won't be a good idea).

40/60 & 30/70 refer to mixes of CO2/Nitrogen, normally used for Guinness and creamflow type beers etc.

To split to 2 kegs, you can just T off from one regulator, or use 2 regulators (or a multi-regulator type setup - I use one of Norms triple regulators). Having a different regulator for each keg gives you more flexibility, as you can set each keg to a different pressure - this would probably be desirable if you had a lager and an ale on at the same time.

Something like This would be ideal.
