Is there a length limit for beer lines?

[DarkUncle]

I'm having new tile floors layed down in my house but before it's done I'd like to run a conduit under the floor from my beer chest fridge in the garage to the counter in the kitchen. How nice that would be to have home brew on a counter top tap. The length of the run would probably be between 20 and 30 feet.

What do you guys think? Doable?

Thanks,
Chris

Look up "glycol cooled trunk line" because that's the only way to guarantee success...

Cheers!

You would have to have glycol cooled lines for that distance but it's doable.

It's doable, you'll probably want to get an insulated trunk line and run glycol (or something similar) to keep the beer cold. It's definitely going to take some trial and error. 1/4" ID line might work but you'll need to play with it, if it's closer to 20' some 3/16" ID barrier tubing would do the job.
