I just ordered 2 pick-up/dip tubes from BargainFittings, one for my MLT which will have a false bottom with the dip tube going through the center of it, then one my my HLT.
My question is, how close is too close to the bottom of the keg for the dip tubes to rest? Obviously you want to get as much liquid out as possible during any stage of the brew day, but both of these dip tubes are literally scrapping against the bottom of the keg.
I know it's not like they created a seal and won't drain at all, but is it possible that it will slow down the flow too much when I open the valve and turn the pump on?
Thanks!
