I am on my seventh batch, and have used the same auto siphon for every previous one. I decided to replace it prior to this batch because it was getting worn. When I went to rack into my keg last night, I couldn't get it to work, it kept sucking air in. There was obviously a leak somewhere. Swapped hoses, swapped, plungers, nothing seemed to work. I tried the old fashioned siphon, and had almost no luck with that. It was 11:00 by now, and I needed to go to bed because I get up at 4am for work. Out of desperation, I dumped the remaining 4 gallons or so directly into the keg while straining it through some sanitized pantyhose. Did I ruin my beer.
Also, is there a better siphoning method that is reliable, that can be restarted easily if it fizzles out? And a better straining method maybe?
Thanks
