Splitting a gas line to more than one keg

Post by mysterio » Thu Sep 14, 2006 12:44 pm

How is this done? I'm thinking of getting my second corny soon. Is there some kind of spitting adaptor?

Hello all again when i used these Y- piece splitters in the past. I noticed you had to be careful if you hook up a second barrel that was at a different pressure.Because it would cause beer to be drawn up into the gas line. :cry: Then you need to clean & sterilise.I have one way valves fitted to all my gas lines now. :) cheers Rab Maxwell(Brewing in Ayrshire)

I get the screech (fart!) noise if I hook up to a cornie which is at a significantly lower pressure than the reg output is set to. It must be the sudden CO2 flow into the cornie which makes the noise. So I always back off the reg screw before connecting and then gradually increase the pressure when connected. It did give me a bit of a fright first time though, thought the whole thing was about to blow :shock:

sorry I bought that one after I read this post :roll:
I guess with 2 kegs per reg' the noise might be worse. Will try fiddling the screw - thanks andy
