Why a Dip Tube with a Float is Essential

A dip tube with a float is a game-changing feature in pressurised fermentation systems, such as the Oxebar PET Keg. This clever addition ensures that every pour is as clean and consistent as possible while enhancing the overall brewing and serving process.

Key Benefits of a Dip Tube with a Float

• Clear, Sediment-Free Beer:
  The float system keeps the dip tube positioned at the top layer of liquid inside the keg, where the beer is clearest. During fermentation, sediment like yeast and hop particles settles at the bottom, and the float prevents this sediment from being drawn into your glass.

• Enhanced Beer Quality:
  By delivering only the cleanest portion of your brew, a float-equipped dip tube preserves the beer’s intended clarity, flavour, and presentation. This is especially beneficial for styles where appearance and purity matter, such as lagers or pale ales.

• Maximised Yield:
  The floating dip tube adjusts as the liquid level drops, ensuring you can serve nearly all the beer in the keg without disturbing the settled sediment at the bottom. This reduces waste and ensures you enjoy more of your beer.

• Effortless Dispensing:
  The float mechanism works automatically, requiring no manual adjustments as the beer level decreases. This makes it incredibly user-friendly, especially for brewers who value convenience.

• Versatile for All Styles:
  Whether you’re brewing a hop-forward IPA, a dry-hopped pale ale, or a lager, the float system ensures a smooth and sediment-free pour, even when dry hopping or using other ingredients that leave residue.

• Durable and Reusable:
  High-quality dip tubes with floats are built to last. They’re easy to clean and designed to withstand repeated use, making them a reliable addition to your brewing equipment.

Why It Matters

A dip tube with a float is a small yet crucial innovation that elevates the kegging experience. By improving beer quality, maximising yield, and simplifying dispensing, it allows homebrewers to enjoy more of their beer in its best possible condition. Whether you're new to kegging or a seasoned brewer, this feature ensures every pour is as satisfying as your brewing efforts deserve.
