Draw the clearest beer possible from first pint to last with the Torpedo Buoy™ floating dip tube. Includes 3" metal dip tube, 23.5" length of 1/4" ID silicone tubing, and stainless steel ball float. Compatible with any ball lock or pin lock homebrew keg. Sized for 5-gallon kegs, but can be shortened for use with 1.5 or 2.5-gallon kegs.

can this be used in a sankey keg?
Jacob Bryant Fleener on Nov 26, 2019
BEST ANSWER: No
Does the plastic tube impart any off flavors?
Cole Christian on Jul 10, 2020
BEST ANSWER: No it does not. Just like the hose the delivers the beer from keg to tap doesn’t either. I have had the tube stick to the side of the keg two times which then the ball does not float properly. I have them in 4 kegs. No more getting the crud off the bottom of the keg. I’ve never considered going back to the fixed tube.
If used with a torpedo keg would this allow pouring with the keg in a horizontal orientation (laid “down” on a standard residential refrigerator shelf)?
benjamin johnston on Jun 18, 2020
BEST ANSWER: As the other answers have noted there would be a bit more loss at the bottom of the keg since your float may be an inch or so off the bottom and when the keg is on its side the inch of vertical dead space would equate to a larger volume of beer than if the keg were upright. Otherwise this is not a problem at all. As another reply mentioned it would also be best to keep your gas fitting at the 12 o'clock position so you don't contaminate that.
Can this be used with any Corny keg that uses a dip tube?
Edmond Flores on Nov 18, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi Edmond, correct! you'd just replace the existing dip tube with the 3" Stainless Dip Tube.
Do you need to use a hose clamp to attach the tubing to the dip-tube?
Brendan ONeill on May 15, 2020
BEST ANSWER: No, you don’t need to. Since the keg is under pressure and the tube is connected to your out, there’s no concern of pressure “blowing off” an unconnected tube.

That said, it made me feel more comfortable to put a hose clamp on it, but then again you’re putting that hose clamp in your beer.
Can you pressure fill the keg with this attached?
James Witterschein on Apr 1, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I’ve done it twice now without issue, so I’m going to say yes. Use low pressure for the transfer and it works fine.
Do you have to cut silicone tube for 3 and 1 gallon kegs? Thanks.
From_LV on Dec 22, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Have to? Probably not for the three gallon, most likely for the one gallon. I cut about 11” off for my 2.5 gallon kegs and they work incredibly well. If you do cut them, cut them long enough that the ball and open end of the tube lay on the bottom of the keg with a little bend in the tube. I left a little extra figuring that I could trim it later if necessary so mine wrap about a quarter of the way around the bottom of the keg and they work fine. I just drained my first two kegs using these and picked up no sediment whatsoever until I was pulling nothing but air (CO2) and foam from the kegs. I’m so pleased with them I’ll be ordering a couple more if Santa didn’t beat me to it.
Can you use these Keg Buoy Floating Dip Tubes with the SS Brewtech Keg Washer?

BEST ANSWER: I would assume so...There is nothing that would prohibit this. The keg is cleaned upside down so the floating ball would rest just inside OR outside the keg. Just make sure the hose attached to the ball does not kink.
Can I buy the 3” dip tube separately?
Ryan Schmich on Nov 12, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi Ryan, the dip tube is not sold separately.

Fixed my problem!
A great solution for my poor racking job. A keg that would repeatedly get clogged due to a heavy dryhop is pouring crystal clear. Will see how it cleans up and holds up overtime, but definelty flowing debris free with initial use!

Must have for keg owners
I had a floating dip tube in my fermentor and love it. Anything that helps keep the sediment at the bottom is a most have.

This is a very straight forward product. Its not exactly easy to install, especially if you have big hands. However, it works well an as designed.

It's a problem
The tubing that is supplied with dip tube kit coils too much. When the keg is full the tube doesn't stay in the liquid and sucks air. I bought five of these so I'm quite disappointed. I'm going to try buying some better tubing because I like the idea of drawing beer from the top. I hope it works.

Had high hopes, but instead it floated high above the beer
Like other reviews, the end of the tube started floating well above the beer, which required opening the keg (!!!) and changing it out for a normal dip tube.

I will try adding a weight (ie hose clamp) to see if that helps next time.

Sucks CO2 after a gallon or two is consumed
Love the concept but disappointed with the results. Works great when the keg is full but quickly starts sucking air. I noticed in some the reviews folks are adding weight. How where do you do that? Near the floating ball? Bought four of these things from More Beer so need to make them work somehow.
