Lost my coat,

Every brew my brother and parents have done in the past, oh 17 years was siphoned with the mouth. They never had an infected batch, homnestly.

Hello!

Newcomer to the forums and the site itself, rather like it here. Very good source of information... to the point where it can be considered dangerous. After learning what one can do with two cans of wort, I decided to take a flying leap.
