pickup tube for birko urn

[IsonAd]

Looking at adding a pickup tube for my 40l birko urn for biab to try and reduce the amount of break and hop material I pick up. Anyone done this? Worth the effort? What did you use?

I've put one of these on the other end of the bulkhead (ball lock tap), pointed it sloping downwards. Then used a brown pump to pump the wort out into the chiller after whirlpool.

Conclusion: It was a waste of time and money, made no difference to the amount of amount of break and hop material picked up compared to doing it the old fashioned way.

I have a Birko and was thinking of trying something like this with a copper pick-up:
