I'm planning out my draft system for a small taproom. Beer will be served from a beer tower from a cold room with brite tanks located behind the bar. The beer tower will be just on the other side of the wall of the cold room, so the runs will not be long. Probably 15-20' at the most (from the farthest tanks). I've read that I shouldn't use the standard 3/16" or 1/4" ID tubing because there will be too much resistance and beer will flow too slowly. So I thought I would use 3/8" tubing to dispense the beer. I was planning on setting the tank pressure at 10-12 PSI and keeping the temp. of the cold room around 40 degrees F. This is what I've done with kegerator systems before and it works well with the normal size tubing.
The problem is, I can't find replacement shanks for the T-style tower with 3/8" nipples on them. Do they exist? Am I missing something here? Will 3/16" or 1/4" ID tubing work, or should I go with the 3/8" tubing?
