They make a special clip that will pob onto the racking wand and can be
slipped up and down the wand. You can clip it so that it only reachs half
way down the carboy. Start the racking and then you can slid it down to the
bottom as the racking progresses. Another trick that can help even more is
to tape the tube to the side of the table so that moving the discharge end
will not effect the intake end.

Can pouring your mix through a coffee filter work as racking? I am about
to rack & don't want to spill any sediment or disturb while siphoning,
which
is something my shakey hands have trouble with.

Thanks!
