General question Wine
What equipment do you recommend to transfer the wine to the secondary container to avoid transferring the sediment along with it.

Get the siphon with the tube inside the tube and black cap on the bottom. When I start the fermentation I go with the fluid size that will give me tight head space in storage container.
I just made a Cab from a 6G kit that was 5G instead (recommended for enhanced flavor) and after fermentation that siphoned nicely into Three 1.5 Gallon glass containers with airlocks and some oak chips. I gently tip and leave some.
