Hello all, hope this finds everyone enjoying a frosty pint.
I'm making the change to kegging and the one thing that has me totally confused is all the different hose/tubing sizes. I've read numerous posts about what sizes should be used for serving and even gone on to the kegerators.com calculator but it seems everywhere I look there's a different answer.
What size ball locks do I get?(with what size barb?) 1/4", 3/16", 5/16"? And is that ID or OD? Do my lines need to be the same size? (gas & liquid) Or does that matter? I've seen many posts that suggest 5/16" for serving lines but when I put that into the kegerators.com calc it says I need around 116 ft. of line. I assume that's incorrect for a keezer. Even to look up and find 5/16' tubing (like on the kegland site) it comes in various ID.
If anyone has any input that could make this setup a bit easier to understand, that would be wonderful.
