Don't even bother unless you are willing to invest in a glycol system. This is the only way that you can sucessfully dispense this distance from a kegerator.You will also require a gycol tower and glycol conduit. Beer has gas. You have to maintain temperature at the keg and all the way to the faucet to prevent the gass from either expanding or contracting. An attempt to use cold air has failed miserably resulting in waste and incorrect pressure due to compensating for temperature fluctuations.
