Decanting techniques
11 years ago
Ever wondered how to decant without spilling gallons?
My one-off attempt to decant by spritzing directly into the tube naturally turned out to be outrageously messy - albeit fingers and room smelled terrific, having spilled vast quantities. The lesson was clear: I was in dire need for a more sophisticated approach. So off I went to fetch myself a decent funnel.
Using a funnel works quite well but I still scent my room and fingers, even though in moderation, which vexes me particularly when it comes to those fumes near and dear to me. Moreover, the remains in the funnel are a loss I would like to minimise further. And so I kept wondering.
Googling high and low I believe to have finally found my holy grail, the neatest method I can think of: How to decant using a syringe.
What are your tricks? Any experiences using a syringe?
