To date I have only ever brewed 5 gallon batches. I am currently making a 5 gall cider though and the cider came in nice 1 gallon glass "carboys" for lack of a better word. I decided to make a bunch of mini batches of various brews in them with classy balloon airlocks (never used those either).
Anyway, I just realized my auto siphon doesn't fit in the hole at the top and I am guessing its not too bright of an idea to just stick my maw on one side of a siphon hose and suck. What other methods have people used to rack it off the lees when you have run into this problem?
