What about a floating dip tube connected to a hose barb on the racking arm? I should add that I only use whole leaf hops.

Thanks to all for your advice and recommendations! I'll post my results.

The Amazon fitting will be here tomorrow. I going to try that first to make sure the process is water tight.

CO2 is 1.5 times heavier than air. When the keg post is removed, the keg essentially remains filled with CO2 just no longer under pressure. As the keg is filled from the bottom up, the CO2 headspace is vented via the open pressure relief valve in the lid. When the keg is filled with 5...

I've used this for years. It works perfect except when dry hopping. I don't dry hop much but I was just hoping for a simple solution.

Correct

See post #35. I'm just using the flare instead of the post/poppet and QD for filling kegs from the fermenter. I'm hoping to avoid clogging from dry hop remains and avoid O2 exposure. When keg is full, the beer is not yet carbonated but has CO2 headspace. At that point, I'll simply swap the...

I think I'll just order the fitting from Amazon. With Prime its only $10 with free shipping. If it doesn't work, returns are free.

The racking arm just has a ball valve.

I agree, but right now I sometimes have to stop mid-transfer to disassemble the QD and/or the keg post and poppet to clear the dry hop debris. I was assuming a straight shot flow through the flare would alleviate that with one fitting swap at the end.

This is what currently do: Flush and pressurize the sanitized kegs and chill overnight. Connect tubing between racking arm ball valve and keg beverage out with long dip tube Release keg pressure using PRV in keg lid leaving keg full of CO2. Connect CO2 to lid of fermenter and pressurize to about...

Yes and yes

The fitting on Amazon is stainless steel.

The fermenter has a racking arm and I pressure transfer from the fermenter to the keg. I currently use a QD but if dryhopping in the fermenter, the QD clogs. The poppet is needed to depress the stem in the QD to allow liquid to flow.

I have old Firestone Spartanburg Pin Lock kegs with 9/16"-18 post threads. I'm looking for an adapter to 1/4" male flare. All I can find from homebrew vendors are for Cornelius kegs with 19/32"-18 post threads. I did check with CHICompany and they could make it work combining 3 fittings. Not...

Habitat for Humanity Restore $5.00 No batteries needed.

Speaking of o-rings. I've always used Buna-N round profile and replaced them every fill just to be safe. Like everything else, CO2 is getting too expensive to just let it drift away. On top of that, I've been working on a bag of them for quite a while and I need a fresh bag. Is there an...

Did you just use a hack saw? Do any of the vendors have short one? I've only found 1-1/4".
