I have a CO2 distributor that splits the Co2 into three for the three-keg set-up that I have. One keg is carbonated and being consumed now. The CO2 is set to 10psi.
When I need to carbonate an additional keg I assume I have to shut off the valve to the already carbonated keg in order to force carbonated the other?
In the meantime, how do I serve the existing keg? I can't do that if I'm force carbonating the new one at 30 psi for example. Do I have to switch the valves from force-carboning on one to serving on the other?
Thanks,
CO2 Distributor

Re: CO2 Distributor
Yes, I would suggest to shut off the already-carbed beer from the 30psi. The beer that is already carbed, and had been sitting at 10psi, will still have some force pushing it out to your glass. You should be able to serve a few pints with the gas shut off, before the flow dies. You could open the valve for a second or two to bring back a bit of "pushing" pressure to that beer.

You could also use a dual regulator setup like this one https://www.everwoodavebrewshop.com/pro ... checkvalve" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
