I'm under the impression that these two folllowing statements are true:
1.) mouth priming Siphon = high sanitation and infection risk
2.) tap water priming Siphon= higher oxidation among other risks
So other than pre boiling priming water is there a better way to prime
a siphon or should i just spend the ten bucks and get the auto siphon?
I put the cane and tubing together in a bus tub (available at any
restaurant supply store) filled with water and no-rinse
sanitzier.. The cane fills easily with the liquid. The tubing I coil
up and let the fluid push the water out of te top. I then assemble the
two pieces under the water, and voila a primed syphon. Hold the cane
vertically and put my finger over the tubing, keeping everything
primed, and just head to the fermenter.
No mouth priming (eeeyuck), no tap water priming, no auto
siphon. Works like a charm every time. It's so easy and works so well
I gave away my bottling bucket (and it's accursed valve) and just
bottle with the siphon now.
