Hi,
I have decided I have no choice right now other than to go with two seperate gas bottles, 1 with the lager blend the other with the stout blend. Based up this assumption please answer the following questions before I start cutting tubing.
The Setup.
The fridge containing the kegs is directly behind the bar. I shall have a secondary regulator located inside the fridge at the top (it comes with the ******* installed tubing).
I intend to connect the trunk line from this secondary regulator approximately 15ft to the location of the kool rite taps at the bar.
The metal tails from the cool rite tap for connection to the hose travel approximately 1 ft below the height of the bar to what I would imagine will be approximately equal to the level of the keg of just below the top of the keg.
Therefore the only vertical rise the beer will have to travel will be from the bottom of the beer tower tails to the tap the beer flows out off.
1. As I already stated I will be using a secondary regulator for every keg (is this truely necessary?)
1. Assuming I set the Lager mix at a pressure of 30 PSIG at the gas bottle based upon your previous advice what should the pressure be for the individual secondary regulators for lager and wheat beer based on the setup above?
2. Also how much restriction do I need, and please explain why in terms of pressure reduction?
3. Assuming I set the Guinness to 40 PSIG based upon your previous advice what should the pressure be for the secondary regulator for guinness based on the setup above?
4. I assume the restriction will be the same as above?
please bear in mind the kegs are almost level with the beer tap tails.
Miscellaneous questions -
1. Do I need to keep the trunk line at the level of the bar based upon all previous recommendations for setup or can I run it along the floor if there is no room under the bar ?
2. In the future when I can afford the blender what changes will I have to make to install this, I assume it just to be increasing the restriction?
3. Is it correct that it is your intention to have no pressure on the beer at the faucet and for example that it is all reduced from its original pressure for example 12 PSIG at the source to 0 PSIG at the faucet?
4. Is any pressure lost in the trunk line if it is horizontal?
