Frigidaire 7.2 cu ft chest freezer
All Micro Matic (stainless steel) parts ordered, plus a 10' beer line
(my friend, who cleans beer lines / sets up beer lines at bars, said it MUST be 9', 38degrees and 16PSIG for 9000ft with 90 Schilling (Odell's Brewing CO)).

We get O'Dells here. It's great beer. I love Odells IPA. I'm not saying your friend is wrong, because I have no idea, but I would still e-mail Odell's and ask them about the PSIG and temp just to be sure. As far as line length, 9' is just going to make it pour slower than 5'. 9' probably makes sense, since you have to bump the PSIG so high at that altitude.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
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."
