I’ve been using 5’ of tubing and picnic taps for almost 10 years and it works for me. I can’t remember where the notion of using 5’ of tubing came from, but as I said above, it’s been working greatline length affects restriction and slows your pour, thus less foam. How do you know the floating tube is the cause? Each keg is gonna be slightly different in carbonation as well.
3 ft is very short for most beers unless you are running flow restrictors or low carbonated beer. Most are running 6, 10, or even more for highly carbonated styles.
