o
For homebrew, it will carbonate and dispense approximately 500
liters.

For commercially carbonated beer, it will dispense around 900 liters.
Beer Line Diameter and Length Adjustment
The beer line in your kegerator is more than just a hose; it also controls flow
resistance. This resistance ensures the beer flows out of the tap at the right speed.
The internal diameter (ID) and length of the beer line both influence flow resistance.
Too little resistance: Beer flows too fast.
•
•
Too much resistance: Beer flows too slow.
Recommended Beer Line Lengths Based on Diameter:
4mm ID Beer Line: 1.5–2 meters
•
5mm ID Beer Line: 3–4 meters
•
6mm ID Beer Line: 7–8 meters
•
Key Points:
Smaller ID beer lines (e.g., 4mm ID) create more flow resistance, allowing
•
you to use shorter lines, which minimizes beer sitting in the line and reduces
mess inside the fridge.

Advantages of 4mm ID Beer Line:
Shorter length makes it more practical and cleaner inside the fridge.
•
•
Minimizes the amount of beer sitting in the line.
4mm ID Line: Holds 12.5ml per meter, approx. 22.5ml total.
5mm ID Line: Holds 20ml per meter, approx. 70ml total.
6mm ID Line: Holds 28ml per meter, approx. 210ml total.
