Show on dispensing from a keg?

[RahVaMil]

Hey, Brewcasters: Would LOVE to see a show on dispensing from kegs.

I'd like to hear a discussion on:
- How the length of your dispensing line affects carbonation. IOW, if you start with, say 15 lb of pressure at 45 degrees, how long should the line ( 3/16 ID) be to have a perfect pour?
- Degassing of beer, i.e., if you have carbonated to 15 psi or, let's say 2.5 volumes, but then you leave the keg at 5 psi for dispensing purposes, will the beer degas? If yes, how long will it take? Is this a better way to go than the previous question?
- Are there any special considerations when dispensing from tower taps vs picnic taps?
- Let's say you have a beer on tap for several months. How often should you disassemble the picnic tap to clean that nasty green shit that forms inside the mechanism?

I don't know, sounds like a topic that could easily fill an hour...

But did this show answer your questions?

There are so many ways to perform the "dispensing from a keg" topic that it would turn into a "Depends" show. I think: Doc, Jamil, Tasty, Palmer, and the Biscuit all dispense their gas a little differently which could turn into a show with more questions than answers.

Find out what works best for your system and post a forum thread on your results. That would be interesting.

dispensing is an equation dependent on psi, temp and resistance. An easy google search can enlighten you. The BN is like the Simpsons...they've done everything.
