I racked off a 6 gal carboy recently, mostly into a 5 gal carboy, and some into a 1/3 gal jug. Basically what was left was the nasty, which ended up in a 1/2 gal jug and a .750 L so as to not have unneccesary headspace. A couple days later, there looks to be a good quantity of clear juice separated from the lees in those bottles. Probably about 2 liters.
I haven't had much luck racking out of small bottles before as i seem to get into the bottom way to fast with a 3/8 siphon hose. But I don't want to just mess up or waste some good wine.
I thought maybe I could use something like a 1/8 hose to rack off smaller bottles to gain control. Has anyone tried this or is there some other method that I could try.
I haven't seen any hose this small on any of the websites I visit. Does anyone know where it could be found?
