So, judging by the title, you probably think im some sort of a moron, but its not that. I have no problem getting the siphon to start and keeping it flowing whenracking from a 6.5 gal. plastic pail, but have trouble when racking from a glass carboy into a bottling bucket. I am using the universal carboy cap pictured here: http://www.northernbrewer.com/pics/fullsize/carboy-caps.jpg
I have the racking cane going into the middle hole and can start the siphon by blowing into the other stem, but i cant get it to keep flowing. It will work for a while, then die off. I have the carboy on a kitchen counter, and have tried everything I can think of but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas on how to make it work?
Thanks,
