So, I used my sanke fermenter for the first time... My racking tube was lower than I thought and I was transferring under pressure. I blew a ton of hops and yeast into my corny keg.

Should I just transfer again into another keg? It plugged my dip tube so I think I'll be siphoning...

I guess I need to mark my racking cane so I don't stuff it in the trub.
 
I'd cold crash then transfer to a separate keg with CO2 pressure. You may need to pull the poppets out of both sets of quick disconnects to stop from getting clogged.
 
So it'll just suck a bit of gunk? What if it's 2" deep on the bottom? Won't it suck all that up first? It's in the fridge now so I'll give it a go tomorrow.
