I'd like to cut one dip tube to use when using one of my kegs as a secondary, any suggestions on how much length to cut off from the bottom of the keg? In the past doing this I've had them get clogged with hops residue, etc. Would cutting the tube help with this?

I bought a four keg system recently from the local homebrew store and paid a bit extra to get the ball lock variety. When I disassembled the kegs I found that two of them have plastic 'gas in' dip tubes, while the other two have stainless steel. I noticed the other day that one of the...
