This diptube will absolutely work with the 3 gallon fermenter. It may have to be rotated just a bit up from flush but that won't cause any problems.

I purchased these so I would not have to lift up the 60 liter drums to gravity rack. The tube does not get that close to the bottom and I added a little piece of rubber hose to get closer after first racking. If you have a pump you can get a lot closer with that and a racking cane. Hope this helps.

Yes absolutely.

Maybe. The gasket doesn’t have a seat so when you rotate the racking arm the gasket folds and beer leaks out. If you can wait till the end to rotate it at least you wouldn’t lose that much.

This is designed like a dip tube for your Speidel fermenter. It works great using gravity or a pump.

Kind of... I would say the point of adding this is to leave less wine behind when you rack then just draining through just the valve at the molded opening. I find that because of the way it mounts to the tank the length of the draw tube is slightly off level making the inlet sitting in the center of the tank up higher then I would like. Basically I end up tipping the tank till I see the lees start to drain. I flood the tank with argon while draining so don’t mind taking the lid off where I can visually see what is going on as the tank empties. I am using 60l tanks so YMMV with doing this with larger tanks. Regardless I Ike the dip tube but don’t expect it to allow you to just open the valve and drain right down to the less and no further.

Yes it will. I suggest marking which way the tube bends so you can turn it during fermentation so it doesn’t clog

Hello William in theory that could work. However it would only work if the dip tube was oriented above the gross lees with the tip above the lees. It may be hard to know how high up your gross lees goes. To get the clearest wine we recommend racking from the top to avoid transferring the gross lees.

It will depend on how much debris such as hops are in the fermentor. Cold crashing will help you achieve a very clean and clear beer.

Turn the spigot so that it is perpendicular to the orange ring then hold the white piece and push the spigot up and out. Sometimes it helps tops the white part into the ring from the back and push down while holding everything on the edge of a table or something.

The orange spigot will come out of the white plastic piece it will take a good push. I press the bottom (where the beer comes out) against my counter while rotating the handle. It will pop out then the whole thing comes apart. I found that you can reassemble the spigot from either direction and it provides a lower or higher position for the drain check when you reassemble which way you want it.

The white plastic part of the spigot pops out. Use the same silicone washer that comes with the plastic one and slide the dip tube through the open orange thread. Viola!

You would just need the orange threaded cap --- twist and remove the orange lever. then you can easily remove the white plastic part.

It works perfectly with the gasket on the outside of the flange next to the screw cap.

NorCal makes all kinds of custom Speidel accessories including a gasket that wraps around both side of the metal disc and seals up great.

Got this from one of the product designers. "The stock gasket needs to be placed between the tank and metal disc. You must be careful when positioning and tightening as the stock gasket can slip from lip of the tank"
