Spinning Dip Tube

[Carros]

I have a corny that the dip tube spins in when I tighten the post. This is causing it to turn until it catches the bottom of the keg and the tube starts to twist and bend, and it also causing problems with dispensing because it is pressing the opening against the bottom of the keg and restricting flow. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I might be able to do to get the tube to stay in place?

Thanks

Reach in and hold it in place as you tighten the post.

Yep.

Dip your hand in StarSan first though.

Well I feel kinda silly now, guess I was over thinking it. I will have to try this out when I get home tonight.

Ha! Don't feel bad. We were talking about thawing a frozen keg in one thread and whether it would change the ABV. I said that I had no idea how to check if it had changed or not. Somebody posted, "just take another hydro reading"

Duh

Well I finally got around to messing with this today. I had to use a pair of pliers to hold it, but it did keep it in position. Thanks for the suggestion guys.
