Question - Getting 2 gal cooled wort to fermentor

[tdhickey]

Hi,

I brew about 2 gallons at a time and found pouring my wort out of a 12 quart pot to basically be a spilly nightmare (it sticks to pot, pours off bottom for the first half of the pour).

Should I siphon with my mini siphon (and will that help aerate it too)?

Looking for suggestions based on your experiences...I don't have a brew kettle with a pouring nozzle or a wort chiller because the batches are small (maybe one day).

Yes, siphon half or so and then pour the rest. That's what I do with my 10 gal pot.

Yeah, just rack it from kettle to fermenter.

Use the siphon... that's pretty much what they were invented for.
