LucaSng 304 Stainless Home Brew Beer FermZilla Ball Floating Beer Keg Liquid Dip Tube with Floating Dip Tube Filter and 80CM Silicone Dip Tube

Floating dip tubes are a must-have for fermenting and serving from a corny keg, and this product comes with everything you need: good-quality silicone tubing, float, filter, and short liquid dip tube. I almost exclusively ferment and serve my beers from the same corny keg, and these floating dip tubes work great. No worries about picking up yeast, trub, or needed to cut your rigid dip tube shorter. The filter works great for IPA, NEIPA, and other dry-hopped beers. If you have an issue with the end of the tubing staying submerged, a 3/8" stainless steel hex nut (or two) over the end of the silicone tubing works great, though I haven't needed to do this myself.

I brewed a pumpkin ale and wanted avoid pulling in the typical beginning pours with a bunch of sediment. I easily slipped the plastic dip tube on the gas inlet. I have extra large hands and still had no difficulty attaching. I tested the functionality with sanatizer to clean everything up and check how far down it could get. I ended up adding a stainless steel nut to weigh down the basket below the float. I took it off and on several times with no problem. The additional short tube that comes with it is to replace the long liquid line in the keg but I chose to not replace the tube but rather switch the quick-connects. Removing the keg valves takes a special tool (which I do not have) but not for the quick connects. Mine are gray and black and I simply took them off the tube they were on and put them on the opposite tube. By reversing them, pushed the gas through the liquid line and pulled the liquid out of the new dip tube installed on the inlet line. Pushing the gas through the out with the correct connector makes carbonating quicker (it pushed the Co2 down to the bottom and up through the liquid) and the floating dip tube poured clear beer from the first pour. Very happy!!!

Works well, no issues

There isn’t enough weight to keep the filter below the beer line. But with a little ingenuity you can make it work

I’ve been brewing since early 90s and for probably last 15 years have always brewed, chilled to 70ish, transferred to fermenter, fermented in fridge at 68 degrees, crashed, then transfer to cornys. Now brew, straight to 2 corny at around 90 degrees, pitch Kveik yeast, 3 or 4 days, move to fridge, attach CO2. Done. The floating dip tubes are great and so much easier. Beer is just as good as when doing all the work.
