So--I'm setting up a chest freezer for carbing/serving, and also a portable rig so I can take 3 cornies to baseball tailgates and serve (Opening Day in Detroit soon!).
My LHBS sells everything gas-line related in 3/8" sizes, the people I talk to there swear by 3/8" standard line for gas-to-keg lines. If I go to stores online, I find 1/4" sized gear way cheap. I obviously want to brew and serve the best I can, does the difference in the two sizes matter? Some say yes, some say no. Pros/Cons, anybody? To illustrate the difference, setting up something in 3/8" line from LHBS to carbonate 3 kegs and serve 3 would be around 200 dollars all-told. Online the 1/4" soda equipment would cost around 75 bucks, by my math, and in my tax bracket $125 really matters.
