I have a Brett beer that I brewed about 2 weeks ago. I’m planning on transferring to a keg to age for a while. Is there any reason to cut the dip tube on the keg? I wouldn’t think I would need too but maybe someone on here has experience.
 
If your keg uses an angled dip tube you don't need to cut it (something I never approve of anyway).
Instead you can just carefully bend the lower section to raise the tip.

I've done this a couple times when unexpected stuff ended up in a keg. Latest was an imperial chocolate stout with some fine cocoa nib crumbs that passed right through my mesh racking filter but will not pass through the restrictor plate in my stout faucet...

Cheers!
