Secondary Regulators

Post by Hudson1984 » Tue Nov 03, 2020 9:54 pm

Hi all,

so i've ordered most of the bits I need to get the Kegerator sorted.

All bar secondary regulators.

Now, I'm pretty set on having a keg for wine, keg for cider and a keg for stout.

the wine and stout will be run off N2 and the Cider off CO2.

With this in mind, no secondaries on the CO2 line - simple.

The N2 line however will need secondaries as i'd like different pressure on the wine to the stout.

can a c02 secondary be used for this job? or do I need to find (which I'm struggling with) an N2 secondary?

I will be using kegland primary regs.

Just wondering re. the stout, are you planning on using a stout faucet and carbonating the stout first and dispensing with nitrogen?

(For my stout I use mixed gas and a stout faucet. A while ago I looked at a gas blender to supply n2 + co2 to a stout keg, but that seemed very expensive alas)

Ooooh no I’m not - yes on the faucet, but was purely discharging with nitrogen. I think that may be an error - stout uses 70/30 doesn’t it

Yeah I use 70/30 (nitrogen/co2 respectively). So you didn't carb the stout at all? And just served with nitrogen? Curious what that looked like.

haven't used it as yet, I was intending to set up with the intention of using it i'd read on other forums about it but seems a topic of debate against 70/30.

But, changed the order on the gas man now, so will have CO2 for cider, 70/30 for Stout. N2 for wine

hopefully that sorts my issue :)
