Thanks for the kudos. Much appreciated. Great memory on the flow test! The ten feet @ 14 PSIG resulted in a flow speed of approx. 90oz. / min. A conventional faucet has a difficult time filling the faucet when the flow is slowed below the mid 90's. We will retest this as the extruder that supplies our line has had issues with their tolerances being a little off. We'll wait until the send us new stock and test again.
If you do not use push pressure, you will risk the gas breaking out as you dispense since there is a pressure drop when the faucet is opened. Your pour will be slightly streaked. You might get away with one pound. The two PSI of "push pressure" has been a standard in the industry for centuries. Be aware that this has been applied more so to retail dispensing where the keg turnover is greater than home dispensing. Maybe! After reading the posts from some of the members, I'm not so sure! JK.
Anytime you can keep the air moving, particularly up into the tower and back, this should assist you with managing temperature throughout your entire system. Pulling from the coldest point may help. Not sure what result you will have as to your temperature control with this. Minimal swing temperature and consistency sure helps.
