Shamus O'Sean Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 @therealthing691, your call but with 5mm ID beer line you will need a fair length to avoid over foaming. With Duotights, they do not like santiser on the outside. Rinse it off well. It dries and concentrates and can crack the Duotights. I am not anti-Duotights. My system is rife with them. I have had a couple of failures, that I have rectified via replacement, rectification and rinsing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) I have a manifold that sits outside my fridge so I can make any adjustments and whatever without opening it. Simpler to turn off gas to selected kegs when needed as well. I used to have t piece splitters but it was a complete mess inside the fridge. I have one duotight fitting which was a replacement for a worn out fitting on one of the beer lines. Seems to be working fine so far, however none of them have ever seen a drop of sanitiser.

Shamus O'Sean Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 1 hour ago, therealthing691 said: also do your taps have flow adjustment etc etc thanks in advance Hi Mate, I went with 4mm ID EVA Barrier line. I started with 3 metre lengths and ended up cutting them all down to just over 2 metres. I coil them up with velcro strips and sit them on top of the kegs. I use Intertaps without flow control. When I helped my neighbour set up his keg fridge, all I had spare was 5mm ID line. I used all I had left, which was about 5 metres. I do not know what tap he has, although I know he got it from Keg King. It does not have flow control. It flows much quicker than mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are about 1.8m as that was all I could get out of the beer line that came with the kegerator and it is fine for about 10-12psi. Haven't tried it with more. I'll replace them when I take the kegerator apart for maintenance around June/July. That will allow me to have higher serving pressure for things like Hefe Weizen, although I haven't had any carbonation issues with the shorter lines and the lower pressure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealthing691 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 hey guys just a quick question done a pressure test with soap and water was one leak at the reg but fixed .The question is I have set the pressure on 20psi for the test and now turned the bottle off and I will leave it see if it holds that pressure with the bottle off .Will the water absorb any c02 and make the pressure drop and carbonate the water ..TIA for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealthing691 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 I am saying as that is carbonation but correct me if i am wrong cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
