Auto siphon

Just going to throw out a couple tips to see where this goes. On the end of my mini auto siphon I have a bottleing wand for 1 gallon batches stops and starts the siphon narry a drop spilled. Works great for bottling straight from the fermenter. I’ve also used it on the big auto. If bottleing from a bucket I attached the wand to the spigot with a 1" piece of hose and set the fermenter high enough to just press the bottle up 1 at a time. I know alot of you do this already.

You will know when the bottling bucket is near empty. When pressing up on the wand the bucket will begin to move with about 6 or 7 bottle volumes remaining. This is the time to use a block to tilt the bucket. I start out with a low tilt and then increase it near the end.
