AG#003 Old yella.
I'd read last week the thread on to suck or not to suck the siphon. I’m a sucker. I thought surely the miniscule amount of bacteria would not be to big an issue. Anyway did the doings then when I come to siphon I thought "right a good old suck and I’ll get this in one..." I put a full 5 bar vacuum on the tube end and watched the fluid coming down the tube, previous sucks has taught me not to give in to easy or you have to do it again.
Anyway I got a windpipe full of wort only to cough and splutter the lot into FV, as rest of wort was hot on its heels I just continued siphoning...
Thinking of calling this one Old Yella Spit

This ones a standard favourite on here so ill cut to the chase. As a self builder whom has built all his own kit I needed another project. Id kept eye out for extraction hood on ebay and freecycle only to have next door but one neighbour put one out for the "rag and bone" that was the K9's kahunas, better than one in kitchen!
Photo was to be inserted here put after an attempt JBK site said "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."
I had considered its past life so I removed filters which were only stainless steel mesh and put in dishwasher. I got brew on and all was going well when I checked and noticed some condensate dripping back in to brew when boil was on, hey ho I thought condensate is pure water. I then noticed a few straw coloured drips and the reality of the several years extraction of curry, bolognaise, chicken dinner etc etc concentrated extract adhered to the inside of the stainless steel hood dawned on me. The mass of steam was cleaning it so I quickly removed it and gloup was dripping in my ale
Mmmm this could be the best thing I’ve ever tasted, much like those other world changing accidental discoveries http://www.intelliot.com/blog/2005/10/a ... scoveries/ so watch this space.
I dare say I've had the odd drip of Bacon grease from the grill on the cooker I boil on, but I usually have a wipe round before I begin to prevent it.
