Greetings,
I'm completely new to kegging and decided to just go in whole hog and convert one of my chest freezers into a keezer. I have a Frigidaire Model FFC15C3AW2 15.6 Cu Ft. 'Commercial' freezer that I am currently using for a fridge for my bottles.
My apologies if this has been hashed out before. I am confident I have a handle on most of the build because it's REALLY not a difficult project, but I have a question on whether or not you have to match gas line sizes to the beer output line sizes. I plan on running 5/16" gas lines to my manifold and to my kegs. My question is with using a larger diameter CO2 line, is there some sort of "line balancing" that needs to be done? Do I have to match the size of beer output lines (5/16") as well or can those all stay at 1/4" with no issues?
Thanks for any and all information!
EDIT: Now that I found http://www.iancrockett.com/brewing/info/kegbalance.shtm I wish I could delete this thread. It seems I've found my answer to the balancing question I have.
