Floating Dip Tube for Homebrew Corny Kegs

Upgrade your keg setup with next-level clarity and performance. The Floating Dip Tube is engineered to enhance how you serve your homebrew from a standard Cornelius/"Corny" keg by drawing from the top of the beer column instead of the bottom where trub, yeast, and haze tend to settle. That means better looking pours, better tasting beer and less waste.

Why This Matters

• Traditional dip tubes draw from the bottom of the keg, which is where sediment, yeast fallout and haze collect. With a floating dip tube your pickup point rises with the beer level so you’re always drawing the cleanest beer off the top.
• Particularly useful when serving craft beers, hazy ales or un-filtered brews where clarity is desired. Brewers on forums note that a floating dip tube helps avoid the first few cloudy pours and pulls better quality beer earlier.
• Compatible with ball-lock or pin-lock Corny kegs (the common homebrew 5-gal format), and is easy to retrofit. Many brewers simply shorten the original dip tube or replace it entirely and attach the floating assembly.

Features

• Durable stainless steel ball float that rides on the beer surface to keep the pickup point always optimal.
• Flexible food-grade silicone tubing (length sized for standard 5-gal Corny kegs) so you can drop it into your keg, hook to the liquid post and go.
• Streamlines your serving setup: fewer trub-pulls, fewer cloudy first pours, better overall presentation.
• Simple installation: remove or shorten your existing dip tube if needed, attach the floating tube to your liquid post, purge/prime, and you’re ready. (Installation tips from seasoned brewers recommend ensuring the tubing stays submerged and free from pinching or sticking to the keg wall.)
• Ideal for: craft-brewers, homebrew systems, those serving kegs in kegerators, and anyone who wants to maximize clarity and yield from their Corny keg.

***Important Setup Note*** For best performance, many users recommend adding a small amount of extra weight to the intake end of the silicone tubing. A common solution is slipping a small stainless steel nut onto the intake tube so it stays fully submerged and tracks the beer level more reliably. The nut should be small enough that it cannot slide up inside the silicone tubing.
