So I finally got my keg cut and drilled and yesterday I tackled installing the hardware. All went well and there were no issues. Today I built a simple dip out of 1/2" copper tubing I had left over from an IC build. I elected to go with the side p/u option since I don't use a false bottom and it seemed like it would pick up less trub. It's super simple. Just two lengths of pipe cut to length with a 90 degree elbow in the middle. Here's the problem, it doesn't seem to work. The keg drains beautifully down to the level of the valve (no leaks anywhere, HOORAY!) but stops once it gets below that. Am I doing something wrong? My understanding is that the liquid should continue to drain all the way down to the level of the end of the p/u tube. Am I wrong?
