Short of shelling out a great deal of money, has anyone made a CO2 splitter so multiple kegs can run off the same tank? I want one that has the ability to shut off CO2 to one or more kegs and dispense/pressurize one or more simultaneously. Any pics would be great. I looked at lowes yesterday at various brass fittings and my mind got boggled.
Thanks
Chris

What you want to do is a manifold. If you look up manifold on the search here I am sure I have seen someone post a picture or two of theirs.
Here is one from morebeer.com (http://www.morebeer.com/images/d1810.jpg). They are asking way to much for something like that, you could make it for a lot less.

Thanks Brewmonkey. I couldn't recall the name of it. Just seeing the pic helps me out. I think I can go to ye olde hardware store and make one now.

I have a "Y" on mine. I have 2 beers on tap from the smae CO2 the single end goes into the CO2 regulator and I have 2 shutoffs w/ barbed ends going to the taps. I think that it was about 10-20.00 not more than that.
I know that Williams Brewing has it or you can try any online beer store.

I use a 3 way manifold at the moment, though someday I will probably put a t splitter in each line to bump out to 6 kegs.

I just use a 1/4" stainless tee that I got from AHS for $3.29. To turn off the co2 to a keg, I disconnect the QD. I mean, yeah, the stainless, brass, and plastic manifolds *look* nice but they're all in excess of $30 and I'm a cheap SOB.
