Floating dip tube for growler

[eyuptm]

Hi, anyone figured out a way of using a floating dip tube in a growler? Obvs, the stainless balls I use in cornys won't fit in the narrow neck...
Have bought some small fishing floats, but they have holes in them, with silicone bungs, but they appear to leak, and it'll onl be worse under pressure, I'm guessing..
Could fix/

I must admit, I only use my growler to take beer from my kegs or from a pub (dispensed from beer engine, for example). I hadn't ever conidered a use case for a floating dip tube. Are you conditioning in the growler?

Yes, when I do kits (23l), I fill a corny then put the excess in growlers. Could, I suppose, bottle the excess, if I wasn't so lazy!!!

Having ust written this, I realize that my answer it to fill the growler first!!! D'OH!!!!!

Hi eyuptm
Possibly Cask Widge floats might do the trick. They are slender. It all depends on the internal width of the growler.

The neck of the growler is 33mm diameter...

I can totally unterstand not wanting to bottle!

Hi it will definately go in. Only problem would be that it may be too long and snag against the side. Only trial and error will tell you for sure. They work great in Corny Kegs. I have one in all my eleven Corny's
