So I've decided to build a keezer with three taps and have been reading up on how to make sure that I'll get some nice pours with it.
I found a website that calculates proper hose length for the beer line and plugged all of my information in.
Given that it's a keezer, I can't see the tap being much further from the keg than about 3-3.5 ft. Nevertheless, I end up with a suggested beer line length of about 3-4 ft per keg, which seems awfully short. This is with the flow rate set to 6 seconds.

Reading on what other people use, I see line lengths of around 10ft or so. Did I set my flow rate too low? Is there a "safe" length to use for keezers? I don't want to end up just filling glasses with foam.
Thanks!
