Just another Racking Cane Aerator, not much to see here.

A big Shout-Out to the thread(s) that inspired this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=68218

I used a standard racking cane, a safety pin, and a plumbing torch to poke some holes and make an aerator. Nothing new.

On each of the other threads what I seem to hear is one of two responses:

1. Wow, awesome, I made one and it's great too!

2. Ugh, I tried, and now wort is spraying out of the sides of my racking cane.


My feedback is this: GO SLOW!

Think about the speed that your racking cane originally siphoned at its fastest. That is the maximum speed I can get without squirting out of the holes.

I can adjust the valve on my pump up or down and almost directly control the quantity of bubbles (or leakage).

Enjoy Guys!
