One Auto Siphon at Brew House

There is currently one functioning auto siphon at the brew house and it's a small one. Is anyone able to pick up four 1/2 inch siphons and drop them off at the brew house tomorrow?

Due to the problem that we

Due to the problem that we destroy autosiphons very quickly we could consider making some of these:

I did look a bit for a more durable autosiphon, it does not look like it exists

I have seen racking canes in

I have seen racking canes in SS but never an autosiphon. We could move to just provding racking canes too.

Jamie...James is correct as I

Jamie...James is correct as I was under the same impression as you, but it is only the racking cane.

We talked about this at the last board meeting quite a bit.  This is also this option: http://morebeer.com/products/sterile-siphon-starter-3-5-6-65-gallon-carb...

That pretty cool too, only

That pretty cool too, only problems I see is it requires a seal on the carboy to work which would mean different caps for differnt carboys and it would not work on kegs or non carboy fermentation vessels. The other problem is we would have to replance the sanatary filter on occasion.
