What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
There's a removable sediment guard on the end for when taking the wine off sediment which i have just done which works a lot better the usual guards. It makes syphoning so much easier, no * or filling the tube with sanitizer needed.

From a 23ltr brewing bin theres a wee problem the suction part has a clip to keep it steady and attached to the bin but the business end in the bin is about a foot short of the bottom
