Bronco Faucets

If you're trying to decide how to rig things up, I highly recommend my setup: FFL swivel nuts with hose tails secured to hose ends for attachment to MFL QDs. I also use a JG check valve and those plastic line splitters. All hoses that attach to JG fittings have brass barbs with perfect OD secured. Everything is plug and play and leak free. I was tossing up using barbed QDs, but I'm glad I went the way I did. Flicking between force carbing, PET bottle carbing and dispensing is easy as pie. Cheers

Im carbing to 2.3 vols at 4C but my bronco sample faucet is only 30cm long. From what I understand it is best to carb at the serving pressure you intend on using. However if I carb at 70kpa isnt 30cm of line gonna be too short and cause foaming issues?

With this length what pressure should I be using?

30cm is rather short for a bronco either way - a bit of length to play with is handy with a hand held tap. Salvage your 30cm hose length for a spare connection and give 1-2m a go. Worst case, you butcher some $1 per metre hose until you find a balance between maintaing desired carbonation and a good pour. Considering how much we spend on our kegging setups, a dollar is a worthy sacrifice. Of course, there could be calculators out there for this.

And here's a photo of what I was referring to earlier. Not bragging - I'm just really pleased with the ease of use and the peace of mind of solid connections.

Gave it a go with what i had on hand and pours really fast but doesnt come out froth. Its a little under carbed at this point and has no head but that porbs due to stuffing up a protein rest. Cheers
