lol This thread is taking off in all sorts of directions. I figured out my problem a ways back though...See, this is my 3rd kegged beer, and the first two I used picnic taps for. With the picnic taps, as you know, you lower the psi to 3-5 to serve and it comes out fine. For these, I followed the procedure of setting the keg to triple the desired psi on day 1 for 24 hours, then lowering it to the desired equilibrium psi (which, in the case of those two beers, was around 13-15). This worked perfectly and had me exactly what I wanted in roughly one week. What happened here was, even though I followed the exact same procedure as previously, my picnic taps were stolen, and I was under the impression that you could just use a chrome faucet under any pressure and have perfectly flowing beer...so I just bought one of those quick disconnect attachments to a chrome faucet. I forgot to take into account the line length. So now the only components I have are the chrome faucet and quick disconnect to the keg...once I lower the pressure to 4-5 PSI, the Dunkel comes out perfectly. Btw, I'm doing ~40-43F @ 15 PSI to give me a slightly higher than normal carbonation, which is desired for wheats.
Though don't get me wrong, this whole line length discussion is great, I completely overlooked it when figuring out my kegerator plans.
