Keggle dip tube

Carthik · Aug 26, 2011

So i have just obtained my first keg to turn into a keggle. I have cut the top, drilled a 7/8 inch hole, installed a ball valve. However i'm a little confused on a good design/how to on dip tubes. i need to be able to keep as much trub as i can out of the wort as i'm going to be buying a plate chiller. any suggestions?

You could concoct or purchase something like the Blichmann HopBlocker

OR

Check out the Keggle Wiki Page here for ideas:

Check out Bargainfittings.com he has some easy set ups.

I have a simple elbow on my valve right off of the valve on the inside. I've got a short length of copper that reaches just down to where the keggle starts to taper into the bottom. So I'm siphoning off of the very side after a good whirlpool and settle. It seems to work ok for me.

I hand-bent some SS tubing around a CO2 tank, it works. Not as snazzy as the $11 unit from bargainfittings ($23 w/ compression fitting).
