I'm in love

[kklowell]

With my auto-siphon! After reading about these things for a long time I finally bought one maybe as long as a year ago. Finally got around to making a batch of beer and tried it. Love I tell ya, LOve!

Yeah, that thing is 12+ inches of good suckin worthy of love.

Lowell was the inspiration for my early brewing. You should master a "Mamoth Ave Stompin' Ground Mild" and sell it to the beerworks over on Father Morresette Blvd.

I have been wanting one - is it any harder to clean/sterilize?

Don't get too excited. They are made of crappy plastic that will crack within a year if you use it with any regularity. I did enjoy them until I bought my 3rd one and said F' that and moved to stainless and co2 racking.

Mine's much longer than that.

Really? I've used mine for nearly 4 years. I cracked my first one on the first use (at the bend trying to put the hose on, and I still used it for a year with the broken cane bend) but since I've replaced it I've not had ANY issues with it. And I think I probably brew more "regularly" than most folks...

Nah, just clean/store it disassembled. I keep a corny of stars an on hand, two dips on each piece is all it needs

just used my new auto siphon for the first time last week, money well spent.
