If you don't want to go all the way to buying a manifold, buy a couple of these. http://store.homebrewheaven.com/shared/ ... oducts.asp

Put one in line after the tee spliter for each keg. You definitely don't want your stout backflowing into your kolsch or some such combination.

Hooked everything up to do a test drive. My keg has my starsan (about 2 gallons in my 5 gallon keg) solution in it so I can test drive and sanitize at the same time. My co2 bottle is hooked up, my disonnects seem nice and snug grey for gas black for beer. I turn the main on the co2 and my needles hit the target psi, I put my low one on 12 psi because I figure that's where I will be at on most beers. Everything seems fine, my ''fake beer'' pour out of the tap just fine, not problems there. My question about thsi is that when i open the kegerator door, theres a somewhat loud gas noise. Is this normal?

2nd question

right now I have a dual tower but only one keg. Is it ok to have two beer lines but only one actually connected?

thanks

yep, you can have one not connected to anything.

and what about the ''noise'' I hear?

[TampaBrew]

do you have the 2nd gas line hooked up to anything? put one of the connectors on it and you should be ok. Do you have a way to turn off the airflow to either of your gas in lines?

It could be the keg filling with CO2 as well since it's less than half full.

2nd gas line is connected to nothing (tank) but it does have a quick disconnect attached to it.

You're probably right, might be my tank just filling up.

I will double check for any leaks but I'm sure it's all good.

Just kegged my beer. Hooked everything up but when i went to put the keg in the fridge, it kinda tipped on an angle, and I saw a nice little stream of beer enter my gas tube.

WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

get those backflow things we were talking about.
