Ok, this is my second attempt at balancing my draft system. First, the details. Standard keggerator fridge@40 degrees, with the kegs 2 ft below the faucets. Regulator set at 11-12 PSI. 6" shanks in the fridge door.
I started out at 5ft of 3/16" hose, but had foaming problems unless I dropped the pressure, so I moved up to 7ft of hose, but still lots of foam. However, if I drop the PSI down to about 8 (and purge the keg), I can get a good pour.
So, I'm tempted to replace the hoses once again, but this time use 10 ft to add more resistance. However, I am a bit distressed becuase the balancing calculators I have seen recommend 3-5 ft of hose.
I'm wondering what others use, and if anyone else has had to use a lot more tubing than recommended.
Thanks,
Greg
