You see clearly the problem of loosely connected intake tube - it hits the trub while there is still a lot of beer left. The drafting has to stop otherwise the poppet valve will be clogged - leaving a lot of beer left behind and wasted. Please do not use loosely attached intake tube on floating dip tube. There are only 2 floating dip tubes on the market that do not have loosely attached intake - Clear Beer Draught System and FLOTit 2.0. Additionally, both have micron mesh filters, but FLOTit 2.0 has double filter inlet with 300 and 500 micron in 2 stages.
In this demo keg I welded a Tri-Clamp port and used a compression sight glass and pressured to about 0,3-0,4 bar. The compression sight glass is rated for "non-pressurized or only slightly pressurized tanks" but there are threaded sight glass options available for pressure applications: www.ganternorm.com/en/products/3.5-Controlling-venting-sealing-of-liquids-and-gases/Oil-level-sight-glasses/ But I also hung a flashlight from the keg lid to provide lighting, otherwise you see basically nothing!
Well that's 10 minutes.I will never.get back ;) can't take my eyes of it

That is a pretty cool view, and helps me understand a lot better how it works :-). Thanks
Ist das gewollt, dass der Schlauch am Grund zum aufliegen kommt?
Eigentlich schon, damit man möglichst viel aus dem Fass zapfen kann
I see you added extra weight to keep the draw tube below the float.
How did you put a view port on your keg? Up to what psi is it good for?
