So that is how the auto siphon is supposed to work! No air sucking through the line, no restarting the thing every few minutes. WOW! I had been using that auto siphon for years now, and it makes a lot of sense to have to replace it after some time. That reminded me to also replace my tubing and o-rings on the kegs too. Since it reminded me, I will offer a reminder for everyone reading this.

Change out your tubing! Once it starts getting discolored, it is going to end up contaminating your batches. An annual schedule should work well, or biannual. (That is every two years, right?) I am over due. Last time I changed any of my tubing was…

No, I’m not going to admit that! Clean equipment = better beer and wine.

Speaking of wine, I still have that kit to take care of. Hmmmm.

Cheers!
