What beer line lenth should  my keezer beer lines be?

  I have seen many answers and calculators. Is there a more of a general rule of thumb?

My set up is a 7.0 cf freezer (keezer w/inkbird thermo controller), so the beer shanks are not that far above the top of the corney keg. The lines are 1/4" ID and Ill be pushing it with 12p.s.i. Co2. there are 3 different types of beer in there right now. An Imperial IPA, a Barekywine and a bourbon stout. Ive got it set at 40F. Any and all sugestions on LENGTH, PSI, TEMP and ID are all  welcome

With 1/4" tubing and beer carbonated to 12 psi, you would need 19-20 feet of tubing. 3/16" tubing would be better as you would only need 6-7 feet. Beer temp and carbonation level is mostly a matter of personal preference. I use 10 psi and 36 degrees.

FWIW, I use the 4 mm EVA barrier tubing and use approximately 6-7 feet of line between the keg and the faucet.  The only difference is that I push my beer at 8 PSI at around 40 degrees F.  It works well for me and doesn't sufficiently rob the carbonation in the keg.

I also carbonate my beer at 30 PSI for 24-28 hours at around 33 degrees F.  I can then tap the keg the next day.  WIth my IPA this keeps my wife happy!

THANKS for what your running,
  Seemed like if you asked 10 people you would get 7 answers and one from a mathmatician with the temp and the PSI and the ID the shank takes 1 psi and the faucet 2 psi, l
