My first keg of post-comeback stout is about gone, and I am not happy with the performance of the floating dip tube. Seems like a lot of beer is getting left behind.
I figured I was smart enough to figure out how to adjust a tube. Maybe I overestimated myself.
I run the tube from the gas tube to the little stainless tube on the float ball. I put a stainless nut on the little stainless tube. If I put it on the silicone tubing, it can ride up, but if it's on the stainless tube, it stays next to the ball and SHOULD keep the pickup opening as low as possible.
I adjusted the tubing length so the ball and pickup could reach the bottom of the keg, and then I added a few inches for insurance. I didn't want a lot of slack because I thought it might cause trouble.
Last night it looked like there might be over a quart of beer still in the keg, but it's sucking gas when I pour.
So what am I doing wrong?
