Default Setting up from scratch

Hi,

I purchased everything I need to install 4 different beers on tap in my bar in Brooklyn.

An outline of what I bought:

1. Economy Glycol Machine
2. T tower with 4 taps
3. nitrogen regulator
4. C02 regular
5. secondary 3 panel regulator
6. secondary single regulator

I intend to install 2 lagers (Brooklyn, Stella), 1 stout (guinness) & 1 wheat beer (Hoegaarden). They will be refridgerated inside a Beverage Air back bar fridge & I will run approx 15ft of glycol cooled trunk line to the taps.

I intend to use pre-mixed gas 1 for guinness and 1 for lager/wheat beer.

I have a series of questions I hope you can help with.

1. I will be running the wheat beer and 2 lagers of the secondary 3 panel regulator. What pressure should I set the gas to on at the source (gas bottle)?

2. What individual pressure should I set the beers on the secondary regulator. ie lager pressure? wheat beer pressure?

3. I will run the guinness of a pre mixed gas bottle, what pressure should I set the source regulator (at the gas bottle) and what pressure should I set the secondary regulator to?

4. How much choke line for the beer should I install from the trunk to the beer tower bearing in mind that the total distance in probably 18ft?

5. What is the ideal temperature to keep the fridge at based upon the type of beer inside it?

6. The economy glycol machine does not have an electronic temperature regulator. I assume the dial above the glycol inlet/outlet is a temperature controller. what should I set it to and how would you recommend I monitor the glycol temperature and what is the ideal temperature for the glycol?.

7. Aside from cost savings are there any other benefits to the gas blender?

8. Why was I recommended to buy glycol Ubends and what scenario exactly should I have to install them?

Thats it... Thanks
