I see a zillion answers for how to calculate the right line length for a given pressure, but that's not what I need. I have a line length, and I need to know what PSI to put behind it to get the pour I want.
Example:
But, really, I don't want the answer to my example; I want to know the formula, in case I raise or lower the taps, or have a different beer that serves higher or lower from a picnic tap, or I change to 1/4" lines, or 15' or 25', etc.
Thanks!

Example:
- It's 2.5' (30") up from keg to tap.
- (Ooo, does this change as the keg gets emptier? Is the distance from top-of-keg or top-of-beer?)
- I have 3/16" vinyl beer line.
- There's 20' of it between the keg & the tap.
- If it were a 2' "picnic tap", I'd use 8-9psi.
- I want to pour 8-10second pints.
- What pressure to I use to drive this line?
