Ok i know this subject has been touched on a million times. But, i did search the site and didnt find much. I have googled the subject and found mixed answers. I took 2 years off from brewing and basically forgot all i knew, including balancing my system. I am replacing all of my lines that have been sitting in my keggerator all this time and realized "oh yeah, theres a formula to this" , so here i am. Now my question is, when you guys calculate your line length, are you including shank and faucet resistances? I found conflicting opinions. So should i just go with my desired keg psi, subtract my resistance per foot and leave a psi or so for tap pressure, or-keg psi, subtract line resistance AND shank and faucet resistance and leave a psi or so for tap pressure. Oh and no gravity as my tap and keg height are the same. Thanks!
