I bought a Haier kegerator along with a 2 tap tower and I'm trying to calculate the optimal pressure for this set up, using the formula at http://kegman.net/balance.html.
In my system the height from the center of the keg to the faucet is 2.5 feet and the length of the beer line from the faucet to the end is 5.5 feet (it's a 3/16" line). Example 2 on that page, though, uses the length of the beer line form the faucet to the center of the keg. In my case, wouldn't it be the same as the height mentioned earlier?
Other formulas I've seen just use the total length of the beer line. So, in my case, the pressure should be 5.5 ft * 2.7 psi/ft resistance + 2.5 ft * 0.5 = 16.1 psi.
I'm trying to calibrate it, because it's still foaming at 12 psi. I might have overcarbonated it a bit (while force carbing), but I just want to make sure my calculations are correct.
