Long Draw Draft Beer System
« on: April 29, 2020, 12:23:53 pm »
Hey, this is my first time ever posting here. I've been brewing beer for about 4 years now, but I've only been kegging and dispensing for about a year. I'm trying to learn everything I can about this, so hopefully I don't sound too dumb with my questions, lol.

So, currently, I have a very simple system with a used kegerator and a tap on the top. However, I'd like to start dispensing my beer at my bar that I built alongside my pool. I will be building my own keezer, but it will have to be about 75 feet from where the bar sits (closest I can get without actually relocating my keezer outside). I know there are ways to do long draw systems, and I've been trying to read up on them as much as I can. For reference, I do have a glycol system that I will be utilizing to keep the lines cool from keezer to tap. My question here is about the Co2 pressure necessary to push my beer that far without there being further complications with over-carbonation. I've read up on gas powered beer pumps and about blenders (keeping my eye on a Trumix 100 gas blender). Is one of these systems better than the next (pump vs blended) for a distance that long? Also, does anyone here have experience in building a system similar to mine that has a few pointers before I waste a bunch of money that I may regret later, lol?

Thanks for allowing me to get my question out here and for any future questions/comments.
