So I need to figure out line length for my kegging setup, the thing is that right now I have some 3/16 ID line and some 1/4 ID line, but not enough of either to use the same size line on both kegs. This is the setup:
faucets 2 feet above the center of the kegs. The fridge is a solid 38 degrees, and I'm aiming for about 2.2-2.4 volumes of Co2. I checked out http://hbd.org/clubs/franklin/public_html/docs/balance.html and this says I should have a pressure of about 8-9 psi, then the lines measure out to be around 2.25 ft of 3/16 and 9 something ft of 1/4. This difference is astounding, plus I feel like the psi it reccomends is a bit low. It seems everyone here always talks about having their regulators set between 13-15 psi. Should I just go buy more line of one or the other type? I think I need to buy more 1/4 ID line anyway.
Just double checking. You know what they say, "measure twice, cut once...."
