    Need help with long beer line runs

    Basically I was wondering with the proper amount of line with a balanced system does 1/4” line cause more foam since it holds more beer and c02 in the line then 3/16” line. Just curious…

    Need help with long beer line runs

    Correction. I hit the psi gauge with my arm and turned up the pressure. I set it to 12 psi. Slowed the pour down but it is very foamy. So I wonder if the foam going from 3/16 short run to 1/4 long run???

    Need help with long beer line runs

    I re-configured and put everything back together. My beer is pouring to fast with all 1/4” beer line. If I choke it down to 3/16” which end do I choke it on the keg end or tap end? Also would 1/4” line cause more foam then the 3/16” line?

    Need help with long beer line runs

    I can only find 1/4” beer line locally. I bought 25’ of that and will trim accordingly to adjust for pour. I’m going to take everything apart and run 1 continuous 1/4” beer line from tap to keg. How does that sound?

    Need help with long beer line runs

    I have a really stupid question. Does the beer line length and inside diameter only adjust the correct speed of pour and that’s it?

    Need help with long beer line runs

    day_tripper suggested this…so I can basically do one of these methods below. 1) 20.5’ of 6mm EVA Barrier for my 17’ run and coil the rest in the kegerator Or 2) Just run 17’ of 1/4” beer line with a foot or so of 3/16” choker At this point I’m going to need to change how my line is run at the...

    Need help with long beer line runs

    Hi guys, it’s a copper tap with a 3” copper pipe that runs all the way through the bar to the basement ceiling. It looks awesome but a bad design for changing the line. The line is 3/16 rubber beer hose not copper. It’s just to hard for trial and error each time. If I can come up with something...

    Need help with long beer line runs

    Absolutely awesome information. I have another question. It’s not that I don’t want to do the work I just don’t completely understand. Also my mind in going in all directions. My questions is it would take me a whole day to take the bar and tap apart. Seriously it will because it’s all custom...

    Keg beer temp

    Just shoot the IR thermometer at the keg? I figured because the keg was metal it wouldn't be accurate. But if it's that simple I already have a IR thermometer

    Keg beer temp

    Hi everyone, I am very confused and probably over thinking it. I have a kegerator under my bar that leads to a tower. About 1.5' away. How in the world can I measure the liquid beer temp in the keg? I have a dial not digital thermometer that I use in the dash vents of my car to tell me the temp...

    Tower faucet height

    Hi everyone, I am making my own beer tower. I'm using 3" copper pipe. My bar is 42" high. I would like to know a decent/recommended height from the drip tray to the bottom of the faucet. I'm considering 2 things. My bar isn't small but not huge either. It's shaped like a L. Long side 7' short...

    Need help setting pressure please!!

    With the charts I have been using to balance the system I currently have 5' of 3/16" line now and I need 8.5'. So right now it pours very fast and lots of foam. Hopefully when I add the 3.5' of line the restriction will slow down the pour. Is it normal for the keg to be pressurized that much...
