Alright folks. So I have the freezer under the bar and the keezer conversion is about to commence. I'm considering ordering a 6 port gas manifold from hopdawgs.ca, seen below:
http://www.hopdawgs.ca/index.php/equipment/kegging-draft-parts/gas-manifold-6-port/
I want to be able to control the pressure coming from each keg and I'm not sure that regulators can be hooked up to such a device (could be wrong? I emailed him to see if it can happen). I came across these regulators on austinhomebrewsupply.com, which should do the trick:

With this I'll have the get 6 regs at 25 bucks a pop and the MFL gas connects, which will run me another 6 bucks a piece. I'll also be ordering 2 more dual beer towers, which will put me at 6 taps total.
Does anyone on here have an opinion on this? Is there a better way to do it? I plan on ordering in the next couple days, and feedback would be appreciated. Don't want to do anything I'll regret.

Jake,
what do you think of something like this?
http://www.beveragetime.com/product-cat ... regulator/ (http://www.beveragetime.com/product-categories/regulators/cornelius_4_way_secondary_regulator/)
I understand this is only a 4 way but maybe they could make (or have) a 6 way for a bit more. I'm thinking maybe $250-$260??

Jake, there's a brew store here in Moncton that bought a bunch of 3 port manifolds and were charged too little from the company, and they are selling them for $42.99 each. I can pick up a couple for you if you want. will be cheaper than buying online with the shipping.
JohnQ also just ordered a bunch of inline regulators and small check valves...you might want to ask him about those. He ordered 3 of each for me for my 3 port manifold. I'll probably run my manifold main pressure at 40PSI, and adjust each of the gas lines with their own inline regulator.
Sounds like the type of setup you're looking for, only you want 6, not 3.
Let me know. I'll grab a couple and bring them up next weekend....should be able to make the meeting on the 2nd of oct.
by the way...you'll notice on hopdawgs that they have manifold ball valves with builtin check valves for $11.95. But like I said, JohnQ ordered up a bunch of little plastic check valves for a couple of bucks each.
