Does this sound about right?

I'll be hooking up my kegerator tomorrow, have everything I need, just waiting for my friend to come over tomorrow with the right tools. So I just want to make sure I have the right setup going. I'm at only 43 feet as far as elevation goes. The first keg will just be bud light, at a temp of 38, so about 11-12 psi will be good? Right now I have only the 5 ft hose they gave with my kit, I'll be going to about 7-8 sometime soon, because I heard for beers like bud light, miller, etc, I will need a longer hose for it to not be foamy when poured. I'll just be getting a splicer off the site here, and another 3ft length of hose. That way I can easily convert back to 5 ft if I were to get a keg that required only the 5. Just wondering if this sounds right, or if there is somthing I'm missing or doing wrong.

I don't know what my elevation is but I live at the jersey shore, I am not underwater or in a flood zone, so I assume it is close to yours. (Your profile did not say where you live) I drink domestic lite beers and I use the 5 foot line that came with my kegerator. I set my co2 at 12 and keep my kegerator at 36 degrees. Never touched the temp or co2 dials since I got the thing (About 5 kegs ago) I have never had any kind of problems, so i assume you have everything right.

Happy tapping.

I live in Maine, so probably right around the same elevation as you. Thanks.

For most A/B beers, including BL, they recommend 36 to 38 degrees at 12 to 14 psi, respectively. jhon is dead on and the beer shows it.

Thanks guys, I'm sitting right at about 36 with a psi of 12 or 13, and its working awesome.
