Ok...this is one of the things i am talking about. Thank you sir.
Sorry I didn't respond earlier; My biggest thing is I feel like i leave myself so vulnerable to infection because I spend to much time doing menial, mundane tasks. These include having to balance my primary and the auto siphon to make sure I am getting everything out of the bucket minus gunk at the bottom. In addition, i know sloshing and splashing is a big no no, but to make this work given the restraints of space, it is a fact of life for me.
You can use some sanitized foil over any tops of your buckets/carboys if you are worried enough.
Ideally, to get the most from it, use your auto siphon, have it all cleaned and sanitized ahead of time.
Move the carboy/bucket to a higher location than your awaiting secondary/bottling bucket/keg.
Let it settle back down from moving it. Normally, I'll take a roll of tape, a bunched up towel, some coasters.. Something, to tilt the back of the carboy a bit to allow some of it to all settle to one side mostly.
I'll put the tubing in the secondary, put the siphon in the primary, and one pump gets it started. I'll hold it with my hand and make sure it's running clear, and I'll work it as far down as I can see, and then clip it in place.
Once it gets close to the bottom, watch to make sure you aren't picking up any trash, and I'll move it to the lower side of the carboy to start getting all the beer I can before I start to get any trub/hops/yeast/etc. At some point you'll stop being greedy and leave it all behind.
The clip helps, but it's there to hold on when I want to walk off and get something. Once it gets down low enough, I'll move the siphon around gently to the other side to make sure I'm getting as much as possible, without the junk, and I'll slid the clip up the siphon out of the way and hold it.
The tilting of the carboy really helps, but letting it all settle for a couple of minutes is good too. Takes little time, and it's nice and clean without a drop wasted.
