Hey guys,
A little late here with my question, but I'm finally getting to the point of building one of these. I'm still in the process of building my kegerator, so I don't have too much kegging experience. From what I understand, if you have a keg dispensing at 12 psi, you need a sufficient length of 3/16" ID thick walled tubing (between 5-10 ft) to get a tap pressure of about 1 psi. So if you have enough tubing, why is there a need to set your regulator down to 5 psi to dispense?
Thanks!
