12 feet!! no way would i do that man. unless i was serving beer like natty ice or keystone! 5 ft of 3/8" vinyl tube holds a glass of beer. so....if you have 12' of line you have 2 beers sitting in your line that are going to taste like nasty skunky swill. i drink and brew homebrew and care about taste a great deal so i would not suggest this. however, taverns and bars often have long beer lines and there're stuff tastes like crud too unless you get in on it after several beers have been poured. and for a home set up you aren't going to be running as much beer through it as a bar will. not only that but the lines have to be cleaned and you want to make that an easy to do thing. good luck keeping it cool too. even if you insulate the line it will not stay 38 to 40 degrees like it should be. taste is going to take the worst hit in the set up so unless you don't care about taste, walk to the basement and pour yourself a cold, good tasting , beer.
