Default This is funny, right? It has to have a saving grace, and that has to be it.

Funny? Maybe after a while.

To me as a retailer it's MAJOR FRUSTRATING. Your story mentions
Crushendo & multiple carboys. That spells $$$expense. But apparently
you pour thru a funnel to move from one vessel to another rather than
use a $5 Syphon rod and hose. Heck even with an (easy to use) Auto
Syphon its still under $15.

I've had guys in my store who are making wine on the CHEAP CHEAP and
want to BORROW a large funnel. When I tell them I don't own a large
funnel, they look at me pretty funny. Some actually buy the $5 syphon
rig. One or two have gone looking for a funnel.

It may sound like I'm picking on you, but you should have spent the $5
long ago, Or if you had a siphon rig already, gone to the basement to
get it.
