You can use the same diameter tubing that you use for your siphon, or bottling wand... Put the other end of the tubing into something about 1/2 filled with StarSan solution... You don't want to use plain water here.

Just needed to know if I should save a few pennies for a carboy or to just go ahead with a bucket. Sounds like I'll do the ladder.
