How long should beer line be for Kegerator?
Typical kegerators with draft towers usually have about 1.5 feet distance from the top of the keg to the faucet tap, so with a flow rate of 10 seconds per pint using a 3/16″ inner diameter beer line you would need around 8 feet of beer line if you were dispensing a keg served with 10 PSI of pressure.
What PSI should I Carbonate my beer at?
To burst carbonate your homebrew, crank up your CO2 regulator to 30 psi for 24 hours. Then reduce down to normal serving pressure, which is around 12 psi to15 psi (depending on your beer line length and altitude). That should leave your beer 75% carbonated. It should take another 3 to 4 days to reach peak carbonation.
Can beer line be too long?
Too long = inadequate foam, slow pours, and too much carbonation still in solution. You should end up with two fingers of foam.

Is a keg still good if it gets warm?
The recommended temperature to store your keg is 38°F. Try not to go too much above or below that temperature. If the temperature rises above 55°F, then it’s likely that bacteria will start to grow which will spoil the beer pretty quickly. If you keep the temperature too cold, the beer will retain its carbonation.
How does beer stay cold in a keg?
On the trip from keg to faucet, beer travels through vinyl or polyethylene tubing measuring about a quarter inch in diameter. In systems where the beer has a long distance to travel from keg to tap, this tubing may be chilled to ensure the beer stays cold on its journey to your face.
Can you put bottled beer in a keg?
Yes, you are going to waste some Co2, but if you insist in kegging this stuff, that is better than oxidising your beer. If you can, refrigerate the keg and beer bottles before you attempt this transfer. When the beer is cooler, (and the Corny) the foaming will be less.
