Root Beer Kegerator Pressure HELP HELP

Hi there!

I just purchased a BevAir kegerator and will be dispensing root beer out of it. My daughters graduation party is tomorrow and it will be the 1st time using the kegerator. I am serving a 16 gallon keg of 1919 root beer and need to know what pressure I should have the kegerator set at? I have seen on some sites that you need alot more pressure for a root beer keg than a beer keg? Can anyone help out on this? Also what should be the best temperature and any other tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed response... I'm afraid that's a question best left for the manufacturer, unless someone else has experience with this.

Another old post, but basically what I was told is that it should run 12 psi like a beer keg. Works for me. I only have the first glass froth which is caused by warming of the line up in the tap tower. Cured by adding a fan.
