I'm about to try this for the first time. I have two 5 gallon converted pin lock kegs. They are a little wider and shorter than the regular ball lock versions. I have not shortend the dip tube and wanted to try it without shortening the diptube. I like the idea of drawing off the yeast into a seperate container before racking it to a serving keg.
For those that have done this, do you cold crash before moving the beer so serving keg? If so, how long? I have crashed buckets where the yeast trub seem to have consistency of sour cream. Does it ever clog up the dip tube? I was hoping that I would leave the trub behind, get mostly yeast into a mason jar, then clear beer into the serving keg.
