I had my first infection which was probably due to my airlock going dry or any number of little things, but I'm taking this time to slowly switch to all glass and stainless, because my plastic stuff is pretty old and eventually will probably cause an infection.
I have a stainless steel racking cane. I was thinking, why not get a glass blower to make an outer tube, stick a silicone grommet on the racking cane, and I've got myself a stainless and glass auto siphon? I have no idea on the rates, but I'm assuming closing up the end of a glass tube and sticking a slit at the edge wouldn't be too hard. Then again, I don't really know anything about glass blowing. Should I look into this?
