That would work. I use the carboy cap on the can, but 2 PSI of CO2 is used to start the siphon and help push the beer out.
That’s what I use, I love it. It’s super easy, and the stainless racking cane doesn’t break.

Anyone use one of these?
Any thoughts on the product?

+1. If you remove the sterile inline filter and use co2 at like 1psi (of course only in stainless and in better bottles - not glass) and you attach a liquid out (which would now act as a liquid in) to the end of the siphon hose you’ve made a complete, co2 blanketed, closed transfer system. The day I set it up was the day I stopped worrying about potential introduction of either o2 or bacteria.

You can use those on glass carboys if you stay below 2 PSI or so. The caps are also the fail safe, as they pop off if the pressure gets too high. Guys in our club have been doing this, and now I do too. One should double check the regulator, just to be safe.
