Oh nice, that is a good upgrade. I will take a picture tomorrow showing how far it reaches. Pretty sure I have only got the morebeer ones tho.

So the tubing looks more than long enough. Have you filled a keg through this device? I fill my kegs with a jumper from the fermenter. Any issues?

I have filled through it many times with no issues,

Speaking of filling kegs via closed transfer. Anyone have any tips or tricks on knowing when the keg is full? Or just fill until it comes out the gas QD?

I put my keg on an old scale and note where it starts and add 40 to know when it's about full.

I fill till it pukes beer out the gas post.

I've done that too.

Yeah that's what I usually do. I have had beer go back up the gas line sometimes if I'm not careful.

 

I do like the scale idea. I could use one in the brewery anyway that can handle more than 10lbs.

yeah - that's why I avoid it now.  I really hate when I have to clean out my gas lines.

I have not had the gas line issue. I have done the scale method but most of the time the scale shuts off during the transfer and I am no better off than without the scale.

oh yeah I should have mentioned - I'm using an old timey analog scale.

I swapped out my regular dip tube for this new floating dip tube.  I'm drinking force multiplier again!

It is unfortunate that I had to expose it to o2 but I'll probably drink it before it gets too oxidized.

[HVB]

Slightly oxididized I bet it is still better than some craft cans.

I use a scale to do closed transfers as well. It's worked well for me.
