Hi - I am in the process of setting up my kegerator to dispense Guinness Stout. Using the recommended 25% Co2 and 75% nitrogen. Can someone recommend what length and ID of Barrier Tubing for the liquid side? I would be dispensing at the recommended 30-38 PSI. Planning on placing an order for the tubing tomorrow and want to make sure I order the correct length and ID. Thank You

As the stout faucet provides all the restriction needed to operate at its recommended gas pressure you just need enough line to make the trip from keg to shank. I use 4mm ID EVABarrier tubing throughout, run my non-stout faucets at 11 psi with 6.5 foot lines, and my 70/30 35psi beer gas line to my Taprite stout faucet is also 6.5 feet long - just enough to make the connection, really. The only longer run is the 9 footer to the faucet I keep my wheat beers or saisons at a higher CO2 pressure...
Cheers!

Thanks again day_tripper! I'll order 8' of the 4mm EVABarrier. Plenty for me to easily attach the the tap to the 1/2 keg of Guinness outside of the kegerator and then place it inside. I checked with HAUN gas supply near me, they said they do fill nitrogen cylinders with beer gas mixture, I didn't think to ask if it is 70/30 or 75/25%. Either way, both work and I have to go with what they provide. Wife is getting me a new 40 cu ft tank for Father's Day, should keep me going for quite awhile...
Geez, how many taps do you run at a time and on how many kegerators or keezers? Men and women need hobbies!
Thanks again
