I've had three bad siphons in a row and all of them occur with a gallon left in the carboy; just enough that you really want it but getting the auto-siphon going again is going to disturb weeks of settling.... end up just sayin screw it and siphoning it all in anyway....
Know what would be awesome? A carboy holder/base that had a built in 45 degree slant so all the sludge/sediment compacts in front and we can siphon off the top.
I've tried text books, I've tried employing the wife to tilt.... I'm thinking a simple 2x2 and a 2.6 on a base:
,___l <--- best artwork I can do
I was even thinking of fermenting with the slant.
Suggestions?
