How much pressure?

[Manngold]

Hi all,

Simple one. How much pressure to serve beer from a fridge from corny with 3 meter of beer line and at 4-5 c. At the moment it is all coming out very very murky.

Thanks

Depends what diameter beer line you have mate.

there are a few calculators online that you can use to work out. its more about how much line to use for the pressure you want to serve at though.
I always carbonate and serve at the same pressure, then you adjust the beer line diameter/length to suit or use a flow control tap

check the stickies for a kegging chart which with a kegfridge or similar temp control of the keg you can read off the ideal conditioning/serving pressure and temp for the style of beer you wish to emulate.
here is a link to a US source the chart stickied in here uses real temperatures (celcius hehe)

then to serve without fobbing (foaming) most of us employ a 4-6ft length of thin 3/16" microline between the keg and tap.

the thin bore line reduces the keg pressure along its length, the ideal being a nominal drop in pressure at the tap point, its a big drop in pressure at the tap that can stimulate the foam out or fobbing..

the thin line reduces at circa 1-2 psi per foot length closer to 1 psi for the 1st foot and progressively more with each extra foot..
fwiw i started with a 2m length and ended up using about 5ft on a tap which connects to a keg i serve from between 10-20 psi for fizzy beers less conditioned ales i serve thru 3/8" line to flow control taps which work great upto circa 6-8Psi keg pressure after which they become a sod to zero in on the optimal setting needing a tweak every pour..

The pressure you are serving at shouldn't be making the beer murky, if the problem is murky beer then you need different answers.
