There is a section in the documentation called

Using Multiple Redis Connections

To change your connection call

$redis = Redis::connection('my-connection');

You can add and remove connections from config during runtime with the config helper.

config(['database.redis.new-connection' => [  
        'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        'password' => 'secret',
        'port' => '6379',
        'database' => 0
      ] 
]);
