Ok, I have 15 ft between my keezer and my beer tower. Roughly 6 feet vertical rise. I ran 3" PVC from the collar on the keezer to the tower.

Through this 3" PVC I have 4 beer lines, and one air return line, which is 1" liquidtight.

My questions are about air flow.

1) Would it be better to push air through the 3" PVC, or push air through the 1" liquidtight?
2) Would pulling air be better in either instance? Both pull and push?
3) Does the location of the source and return matter, with cold air falling? Do I for instance need to pull from the bottom of the keezer, or will the air disturbance take care of things for me?
4) What can I do to improve cooling down the pipe, short of glycol lines?
5) If glycol lines are the absolute answer, how can I snake them through 15' of PVC with 2x 45 and 3x 90 degree turns?
