I'd like to be able to quickly be able to extend my keg dispensing lines when switching between highly carbed and low CO2 brews (ex. wheat beer vs. ESB).

I currently have pin lock kegs with 5 ft lines going to my faucet shank. Its connected using a crimped connection. I would like to add another 5-10 ft section when I use higher carbonation levels. I'm really happy with my current 5 ft lines for normal brews.

I would like a piece of hose where one end has a pin lock quick disconnect fitting and the other end is connected to a pin lock post. That way I can easily extend any of my lines. Hopefully this is clear.

The only problem I can think of with this would be that there will be some turbulence when the liquid passes through the pin lock post-quick disconnect fitting. Maybe this will cause foam in the line.

Does anybody have experience doing something like this? Does anybody know what fittings I would need to create the pin lock post to tubing adapter.
