    Im getting some foamy pours, and Im thinking of extending the beer lines in my kegerator to 10 feet. I snipped a 1 inch piece off of one of the lines for reference. I brought it to Lowes and it doesn't look like they have that exact tubing. Its a fairly small inner diameter, with a larger thicker walled outer diameter. Does the inner/outer diameter of the tubing actually matter? Also, is it ok to use the bulk/spooled vinyl tubing from Lowes?

    Yes, the ID/OD matters, and no you don't want vinyl tubing from Lowes.

    You'll need 3/16" beverage line.

    ah, got it. Thanks! Wheres the cheapest place to get it. I just checked out a couple websites, and it would be almost $30 shipped for 20 feet! :eek:
