I am currently in a very "interesting" situation. To make a long story short, my mead needs racking and I don't have a proper hose or one of them newfangled canes! There aren't even any homebrew stores near me. I had some surgical tubing lying around, I tried siphoning with that, and it gave a horrible foul taste and smell to it, even after sanitizing the tube. I was thinking I'd just pour it into the secondary using a funnel with a bunch of coffee filters, then I remembered, I don't drink coffee. I don't want to go buy 500 of those filters just for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
