Hello mates,
So I have a 1/2 Auto Siphon and I removed the hose to replace with with a 1/2 inner-diameter silicone hose (I can boil it to sanitize it).
When i put it on the racking cane I noticed that it fit right in and a little snug, I campled it down and I then noticed that the actual cane inner diameter looked quite smaller than the actual 1/2 hose.
I went got it, I pumped it and I was able to get a siphon going, but I noticed that the beer was not filling the space of the hose like on the old one, and that made feel uneasy.
I purged the bottom of the keg with co2 like always, and I had the other end of the siphon below the beer at all times.
It's a schwarbier, and i was going to lager it 6 weeks - but now I'm not sure.
I did notice that there was some brown foam ontop of the beer this time... probably co2 out of solution.
What do you guys think? Maybe it'll go stale?
Thanks!
