Siphoning beer, racking it, or transferring it. Whatever you want to call it, we’re talking about moving beer from one container to another after it’s been cooled and put into the fermentor. At this point we don’t want to add bugs or oxygen, so pouring is not an option. So how do we do it? This video shows three different methods.
