Now asking $400.

I'd like to sell all together.

For anyone who is interested, I found an excellent reference for draught systems from the Technical Committee of the Brewers Association. Check out the pdf. http://draughtquality.org

Well, then. I'm using 5' lines. So I'm good! No need to change a thing. Thanks for the equation breakdown, though. BUT 2.2vols is at the bottom of the range. Is it best to keep it closer to the center (i.e. 2.4)?

Probably so, lol. But I'd like to throughly understand this. (This might help me more, though: http://bit.ly/cggkjT) This is my setup: http://imagehost.calabro.us/images/beer/Oster/ EXCEPT, I am using 5' picnic taps 3/16 (ID, right?) beer line...

Right. Way back in my orig post I mentioned PV=nRT. But its the low pressure gauge on the beer line that is changing when inside the fridge (Im sure the high pressure is as well). So I guess the change in temperature of the tank/CO2 is affecting the pressure displayed on the low pressure...

Maybe not a bandaid; Increasing pressure with inserts seems like a better, cleaner solution than cramming longer lines into my tiny fridge. So... gas and reg outside of fridge: gauge shows 12psi gas and reg inside: gauge shows 8psi The keg is inside for both. My point is that the gauge is...

That seems strange since the kit I bought came with corny kegs and I dont think you can buy/get bmc (bud, miller, coors? had to look that one up) for those. So, back to my original question: how to determine psi difference due to temp difference? Trial and error. After pulling my reg and...

most americans?

Why would they sell a keg kit with incorrect line lengths?

So, I need longer lines? They're 2ft plastic with piknik taps. I have the Oster 5.0cf fridge, I'm not sure how much I can/should lengthen the lines. Not much room with two kegs, a tank and regulator.

If I set the pressure to 12psi in the fridge while everything is cold, it comes out like a fire hydrant and foamy. It's only a 5' line. I ended up by trial and error finding that setting it at about 8-9psi in the fridge keeps me from burping and beer jetting out with decent carbonation.

Thanks for the replies. Here's the situation: The brew carbonates at 12psi at ~69F (room temp) - i.e. the low-pressure gauge shows 12psi. The regulator, co2, and keg are sitting outside the fridge. I put the regulator, co2, and keg in the fridge. Fridge is set at 39F. Say it sits for a day...

So I have a dual reg setup similar to this inside of the fridge. My question is does anyone know what formula or calculation to determine the equivalent psi outside the fridge? I'm not really that familiar with ideal gas laws... PV=nRT? I know I can simply set the reg when it's at ambient...
