Well, here I am again. I think this is my new home (which is A-OK with me!) I just hope I'm not being a pain in the ass around here.
Okay, so I managed to de-gass the wine every day thus far. So while I was going through my equipment, I figured "oh hey I should test out this auto siphon I just got". So I took some empty gallon carboys to test that it is all working and I realize this is a gigantic auto siphon meant for 5-6 gallon carboys.
It is simply too big to fit into the neck of my standard one gallon carboy.
So I rack the apple wine for the first time in about 8 days from now. Anyone have any suggestions on how to rack wine with only the tubing until I hunt down a mini siphon of sorts?
Now I'm thinking why the hell isn't everything standard sizing? The bf will flip when he sees me ordering more equipment Lol!
