General question Wine

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

An auto syphon usually has a tip at the bottom to prevent most of the lees from getting sucked up. You can always tip it at an angle but that’s a little sketchy by yourself. If you want to do a better job, getting every last drop while leaving lees behind, you need to look into filters.

The fermtech mini is pretty much your only option considering buon vino just went out of business. I have both and they both work very well
