I am going to hook up all my lines for my keezer I just finished building tomorrow and have a question.
All of the sites I read about balancing your system give formulas for making sure you pour the perfect pint.
If I keep my freezer at 38° and want 2.6 volume I need 12.3 PSI(http://draughtquality.org/f/DBQM_Full.pdf page 31). So calculating the resistance of the system I get -.5 (vertical rise) and 2 (shank) which leaves me with 10PSI. If each foot of 3/16" beer line gives me 3PSI resistance, then I need around 3.5' of beer line.
I have read many people saying that they have 10' of beer line in their system and pour perfectly. How can this be? The math doesnt add up.
Thanks
