My buddy and I were sitting around discussing how cool it would be to have a tap on the main floor of your house and the keg and equipment in the basement. I was stuck on the question of how much pressure you would need to get the beer up to the main floor from the basement.

I guess would be similar to a bar except that the tap line would be going left to right (with some slight inclines and declines) and not up and down. You wouldn't want too much pressure that when you open the tap, you get blasted, but you still need enough pressure to get the beer into your cup.

I have a couple of fish tanks that use a sump type filter to filter the water, and one of the main answers you need to determine the pump is length to the outlet and force (head pressure).

Has anyone looked into this or doing it today?

Ok... Do you think this sound correct...

Of course to send beer in a line over a long distance you are going to need more pressure, simple enough. However if you increase the co2 pressure you are going to end up with overly carbonated beer. Therefore you use a Nitro/Co2 mix which allows you to increase pressure with nitrogen and also keep or even lower the Co2.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this ?
