I cracked the end of the raking cane on my autosiphon and now I am wondering if I need to buy a new autosiphon or can I simply replace the racking cane? I haven't really pulled to much on the rubber tip that fits onto the raking cane and seals with the siphon outer tube but it appears to be glued onto the end. I may just cut off the end and mount the hose to the straight part of the racking cane.
I know I'm not the first to do this and I was thinking that maybe stainless is the way to go.

Use the curved part of the racking cane to create a dip tupe for your bottling bucket, then buy a new racking cane for your autosiphon. There are stainless racking canes out there, and IIRC they aren't that much more expensive than a plastic one.

CIP Film, sounds cool, like the ability to wash off with hot water. To date, I've been cutting off about 1/2 to 3/4" of hose to get it off of my racking cane and bottle bucket.

Just soak the hose in hot tap water. After ~20 seconds in scalding tap water, my hose pulls right off with only a minor fingernail-pry.
