Auto siphon
Just racked my fourth batch to secondary. Used my new auto siphon (Father's Day gift). FYI, you are all on my *$!# list for not telling me about auto siphons sooner. Except the guy in the NG who told my wife they are "the cat's ass". I owe you one.
Bottled: Silly Yak gluten free, Mexican Cerveza, Dave's Russian Imperial Stout
Fermenting: Dave's Belgian Wit
Next Up: A lager, I think

Re: Auto siphon
Probably the single best piece of equipment I've ever purchased. Enjoy.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Auto siphon
You should try a 1/2" auto-siphon. It's the cat's ass on steroids!

Re: Auto siphon
The problem with suckin' on a tube is that I invariably end up with some of it on the floor, instead of in my mouth...jacinthebox wrote:Ya'll too good to be suckin' on a tube? Pfffff

Interestingly, a "guy in NG" (New Glasgow, that is) gave me his because he never used it. I love it.

Re: Auto siphon
I use mine quite a bit, however, the last few brews, I just put a racking cane into the plastic thingy with the two openings and placed it on the carboy. A quick puff into one of the holes and bob's your uncle.
See how cleaver I was and didn't say blow in the hole

Re: Auto siphon
Whats a good place to find 7/16" ID tubing? This is apparently the correct tubing to use with the 1/2" auto siphon, not 1/2" ID which bubbles,and stops working if you don't press on the tube to keep it going)
