Post From My Mom and Answers

"Pappy & Granny Lake decided to "try" their home brewed beer one week too early! Their Yard sod didn't fare well. Do you siphon yours? Because that is where they ran into problems! They couldn't siphon without swallowing small amounts--haha. Make a nice "Lake" Zinfandel for we wine connoisseurs...

To answer Mom's question, I did siphon from one container to another. The trick is to use gravity, and my siphon came with a little tube that acts like a pump. So, basically, you put the filled container on a higher level (like a counter) and the container to be filled on the ground. Then, you place the siphon in the filled container, and lift the top part of the siphon hose pump to get the flow moving. Once the flow starts, gravity takes over.
