Auto Siphon / Racking Cane

[grasshopper1917]

Ok Ive been brewing for a long time and should know this but.........

I had an autosiphon and the racking cane that came with it broke. Can I just use any old racking cane in the auto siphon? Or do i need one that fits tight in the auto siphon?

Thanks!

 

[Hello]

You'll want it to create a semi seal I think. Most racking canes should work.

If your existing cane doesn't work, I'm pretty sure you can buy almost all the parts individually.

here's the center cane from NorthernBrewer (out of stock, though):
