I know that this topic has been discussed numerous times.
I think that I have wrapped my head around it (sort of).
My fridge is in basement, taps will be on kitchen wall. I will probably purchase trunk line (no time of patience to make it, although it looks fairly easy) and use glycol cooling
Rough Dimensions:
about 18' total run of trunk line
105" of that is Horizontal
~ 9' total vertical distance from center of keg to tap.
Using various calculators online, using 1/4" line and 3/16" bore on shank, it appears that I need about 160" of line, minimum. (assuming average 2.7 vols at 40 degrees F) Does this sound about right?
Since my total run is about 220", how will that affect pressures, etc?
I can answer any questions, as needed. I just don't want to buy too much or too little trunk line.
If more info is needed, I can gladly provide it.
I DO have an option to put fridge directly under taps and make it a straight, 9' vertical run, but that will put the footprint of the fridge in a awkward spot. I can provide pictures as well, if needed.
Thanks, guys.
