Floating Dip Tube

Description

Stop pouring cloudy first pints and start serving clear beer from day one.

The Torpedo Buoy™ Floating Dip Tube pulls beer from the top of your keg—right where it’s cleanest—instead of the sediment-heavy bottom. As haze, yeast, and hop particles settle during cold storage, this system ensures you’re always drawing from the brightest part of the keg.

Perfect for homebrewers who want cleaner pours, less waste, and a better presentation from first pint to last.

Why It Works

• Top-down beer draw – Avoids sediment and trub sitting at the bottom of your keg
• Clear pours sooner – No more dumping cloudy first pints
• Handles movement better – If your keg gets bumped or transported, disturbed sediment stays below
• Consistent clarity – The floating intake stays ~1″ below the surface as the keg empties

Easy Installation

Compatible with Ball Lock and Pin Lock kegs, installation takes just minutes:

1. Remove your existing beverage-out dip tube
2. Install the included 3″ stainless dip tube
3. Attach the silicone tubing between the dip tube and float
4. Trim tubing if needed for smaller kegs

That’s it—you’re ready to pour clearer beer.

Optional Upgrade: Filter Attachment

Available with an optional inline filter to prevent hops and other solids from ever entering your dip tube—ideal for dry hopping or keg additions.

Specs

• Dip Tube: 3″ Stainless Steel
• Tubing: 1/4″ ID Silicone (23.5″ length, trimmable)

Installation Tip

For best performance, trim the silicone tubing so that when installed in an empty keg, the float hangs freely and the end of the tube just reaches the bottom. This ensures proper positioning as the keg empties.
