I see. The kegs would be kept in ice/water, and the stainless coils would be immersed in water/ice, so I'm hoping I don't create foam. I suppose if I test it, and get foam, I can put a few feet of 3/16 line after the coils and increase the pressure a bit to help reduce it, right? -Nick

I'm building a jockey box for my wedding in June. I think the box itself came out great, but I'm worried that the coils I made may be an issue. I got, cheaply, some 1/4" OD, .15" ID stainless coils. Since there would be too much resistance if I used it straight, I put the coils in parallel...

Ok. Thank you for the input. I'll tackle a less challenging one first! -Nick
