    Anyone using these?

    Just ordered a couple from AHS as they seems to fit my soon-to-be-kegging needs. (Not going to mount tap on fridge door. Will have complete setup inside fridge.) Wondering about balancing concerns as that seems to be quite a popular topic in the kegging forum.

    Did a quick search but came up empty-handed.

    A friend of mine has something similar on each of his kegs (he has two kegs in a side by side fridge). Before he pours he has to drop the regulator to around 2 PSI and purge the keg. Without the added resistance of beer lines you are going to be in foam city if you don't drop the pressure.

    That's what I was afraid of. Wonder if I could put some sort of orifice inline to add resistance.

    Cobra taps are a lot cheaper and more effective, if you're not mounting taps.

    I guess I could also disassemble and add the appropriate length of line.

    Or you could spend 2 bucks on a cobra tap, 5 on a disconnect and 10 on 10 feet of beer line and be good to go.
