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.

Forget it. It'll plug up within a liter or two - if you're _lucky_. Less
if you're not.

There simply is no good substitute for racking. It's the primary means
for separating liquid from solids - even at commercial wineries.

If you're having trouble doing it yourself, get an "apprentice" to help
you. You should be able to draft someone who will work _cheap_ -

- but you shouldn't ask them to work _dry_! :^D

AND - reward them for their help - AFTER your racking chores are complete
