Example:
-
Budweiser on faucet number 1
-
Walk-in cooler for kegs at 38°F
-
Anheuser Busch (Budweiser) at 38°F=12 psi
-
Altitude adjustment at 1,000 ft (1 psi/2,000 ft
above sea level)=0.5 psi
-
“Lite” beer adjustment = 0 Adjusted keg
pressure = 12.0 + .5 + 0 = 12.5 psi
-
Determine the required Applied Keg Pressure
by taking the adjusted keg pressure and
adding 2 psi
Example:
12.5 psi (adjusted keg pressure)
+ 2.0 psi = 14.5 psi Applied Keg Pressure
(pressure the secondary regulator will be
adjusted at)
6. Determine the total line length and tubing
diameter from bottom of keg to faucet. This must
be done for each individual beer line (refer to the
figures below for proper method of determining
line length).
7. Once the run length is known calculate the
amount of restriction.
Example:
50 ft (length of conduit)
x 0.07 (restriction 3/8" ID poly) = 3.5 psi
