So I just realized I hosed myself. I have 3 belgian beers on tap at about 20 PSI to have good carbonation. The saison is just now coming up to just right - big frothy cotton candy headstand. Gotta keep my hands off this - think it will comp well.
I only have a single head regulator split into 8 outlets. And just brewed two British beers. Thinking these I will keg condition very low. Add a little gas to push the beer and then pull the pressure off and purge. At least I can drop the temps a bit so that everything is closer to 50F, middle ground for the Belgians and Brits.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Get another regulator?
I have 6. A primary and 5 secondaries. Two were given to me though.Posted 34 days ago.
I hate how expensive secondary regulators are. I just use a dual-body reg and two manifolds, but that system is limiting.

I bought a dual body and will eventually buy a couple of manifolds. just havent gotten to it yet.

They don't seem to be any more expensive than a primary regulator. But regs in general aren't very cheap.

Well no. Same as primaries, just damn, regs are spendy.

The easiest solution seems to be to buy the dual regulator. That said - would like to avoid spending any more money for a couple of months. I do have a spare propane regulator - I wonder if I can jerry-rig one of those low pressure regs to put just 1.5 atmospheres onto the bitters.

People use Propane regs as cask breathers. You'd probably need to carb to your desired volumes with priming sugar and then use the propane reg to keep CO2 on it. It will become difficult to pour toward the end. Unfortunately propane regs are usually measured in WC or "water column", so here's some helpful info in converting WC or "water column" to PSI: http://inspectapedia.com/plumbing/Gas_Pressures.php
Bottom line is that a low pressure propane reg is 11" WC or .4 psiPosted 34 days ago.
Well, now this is interesting. There's no gauge on it, but it is cheap. http://www.amazon.com/Bayou-Classic-7850-Adjustable-High-Pressure/dp/B000VXEW4G
If you put maybe 20 psi on it you could dial it back halfway and maybe get about 10 psi?Posted 34 days ago.
