    Anybody have feedback on these? Downsizing my keezer, and thinking I might want these to avoid lines and faucets completely.

    Have not used but I have opinions.

    The 3/16l8ine provides restriction, which slows down the rate of flow so there is no turbulence in the glass. Without it, the beer is pushed at 12 psi and flows too fast. Foam.

    A flow control faucet will help. A little.

    Also, these low cost mini regulators tend to be crap. There are some decent ones available but this one looks pretty plasticky. You can build one yourself with parts, find a mini regulator and connect it to a threaded corny poppet.


    Cheers
