Well today, being the noob that I am and while cleaning up a glass carboy that I got off Craigslist, I decided to do a "racking dry run" with rinse water in my carboy into the bottling bucket. I'm glad I did this today because DAYUM!....what a PITFA!! I could NOT for the life of me get the dang siphon to maintain. I had the carboy at least 4 feet above the bucket and the damn thing would still break siphon. I checked my racking cane for clogs/cracks - nada. I will be going to the LHBS tomorrow to pick up one of those auto siphon rigs because if I don't have one when I go to rack from primary to secondary, it is SURE to be a cussfest DISASTER!!
