I'm building a 6 tap, upright kegerator and am considering using 3/16" ID self-retracting nylon air hose for beer line, because I don't want my beer lines hanging out all over the place. Have you had experience with this, or know anyone who has?

Maximum PSI is 285 @ 72°F
Temperature Range: -40° to +200°F
Hose ID is smooth
It will look really clean if it works. I'm planning to use < 2' of coiled line for each tap. That means the beer will actually travel about 5' from the corney to the tap. I'll connect with 90° elbow barbs from the shanks. The downside is the hose isn't clear, it's red. But does it really matter? Let me know if you've heard of this before. I don't want to make the investment if it's going to make the beer foamy, or kink up, or something. What should I be concerned about? Thanks
