Default racking 1 gallon jugs of wine

Hi Pp:

You making any port this season? Have 5 gal of Cab and ~60lbs of
plums in the freezeragain for more plum port.

racking
The tubing comes off a roll at the hardware store and has a curl set
into it.

When slipped in the jug or carboy they find the edge of the glass
right away and stay right there untill I scoot them down. Never had
one that was straight yet!

Take Care,
Steve

A racking cane - huh?

Steve:

How do you prevent the tubing from disturbing sediment without the
solid support of a racking cane? I find the tubing end curls in
unpredictable ways and it's pretty much impossible to deal with it at
the bottom of the container. I've got a regular size plastic racking
cane and cut it down to fit nicely into a gallon jug, and that works
fairly well - the main issue is seeing the bottom tip of the cane.
