Hi Everyone,

My second fermentation is about to be finished in a few days, this is my first year and I got a Sansone 100lt ( 26.5 Gallon) conical tank. It has a small tap at the end but the problem ise it takes too much time to rack the wine from there, but anyway with this type of conical tank should I be using the tap to rack my wine, or would it be better to use an auto syphon I cannot decide, if I should use the tap should I clean and sanitize a hose and attach it to the tap and extend it to the transfer bucket to avoid O2 what do you think how should I proceed ?

Thanks
