25L Stainless Steel Keg

I am using one of these http://kegking.com.au/fermentasaurus-float-and-dip-tube.html on my homemade kegmenter and seems to work well. Only done 2 brews with it but no yeast transfer.

thats what I use also. works well 90% of the time, however can clog up when trying to take gravity readings if it's floating in the krausen or hop matter is floating around.

ok fair enough, so maybe not as good with no chill... I'm thinking about trying this with a 19L corny on a smaller scale first. I reckon I'd either need to bend/cut the dip tube or use a floating pickup to dispense from the same keg, unless I chill and get much clearer wort.

I have just bent the dip tube in the cheap chinese keg I'm using to ferment in. Seems to work pretty well, not a lot of solids make it into the keg but I little bit does, usually at the end of the transfer. I am thinking of of moving to a floating dip tube though.

Maybe a fishing float, push a bit of stainless tube into the silicone tube and tie it to the float with some fishing line.
