All my fittings and such are for 3/16 (stupid mistake!). I just ordered 3/16 tubing. Problem is, I already cut some of the 3/8 tubing into 10 foot sections. First time kegging, so I didn't notice how off the diameter of the tubing was until it was too late. Are there any other good uses for 3/8 beer line?
Bought 3/8" tubing instead of 3/16". Any uses for it?

Jeez!
You could use some for gas tubing perhaps. Or make a keg jumper hose from some.
But since you need to re-order, I'd look into buying EVA Barrier tubing instead, both for beer and gas. It has an oxygen barrier!

Yeah, might be useful for racking tubing, but definitely out for dispensing.
Big 2nd on the EVABarrier tubing, fwiw...
Cheers!

Things I've personally used 3/8" tubing for:
- Line to transfer from bucket spigot to keg
- Attaching air lock to keg for fermenting
- Jumper lines for transferring from keg to keg
- Jockeybox jumper lines from keg to coil
- 50' beer line from the basement to the garage
