Also, I think the problem with over-carbonation has to do more with jockey boxes; in particular, 120' cooling coils. In order to push the beer through all that line, you have to set your regulator 35 (or so) psi.

I'm thinking with the rod and faucet setup, it'll basically be like a kegerator (except w/o the 5' of 3/16" beer line). Having said that, you'll probably have to lower your psi a bit...not sure.
Chuckster, Detroit 808 hasn't posted in nearly 2 years....

I don't know about the PSI, though. Not sure that the length of the rod being shorter than the beer hose means you need to lower the PSI. I would THINK that micromatic, being the beer experts, would have considered this, and perhaps the internal diameter of the rod is different from standard beer hose, thus allowing the beer to be set at the proper PSI. Unless they assume you're drinking the beer in a few days and there wouldn't be time to flatten the beer by setting the PSI lower. A review of the one listed on micromatic's website simply states that it works great.

Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
