This is a long question, but requires a yes/no answer. I just read on a help regarding a balanced system. I have heard that it is important to have a 6 foot beer hose when serving draft beer. I have a kegerator and am using 6 feet of 3/16 beer line. I keep the beer at 34 degrees. As I read your directions for a balanced system, I think I am in need of shorting my beer line to 3.5 feet but I wanted to see first if I am correct. Here is my calculation.
My target guage pressure should be 11 psi because I have be temp at 34 degrees. My resistance with 3/16 would be 2.7 and my height from center of keg to faucet is 2.5 feet. In order to balance my system, I assume I would vary the beer line length to meet the target pressure on my regulator?
11psi=3.5 * 2.7 + 2.5 * .5
Would this be correct?
Thank you so very much for the information.
