Sterile siphon (ala Chris Graham)

[PA Pride]

MoreBeer has a video of Chris Graham starting a siphon by placing a racking cane through one of the holes in a carboy cap and then blowing through an air filter which is in the other hole.
Could this be done with cotton instead of an air filter?
I know air filters are cheap but I'm even cheaper

If you're going to do that you might as well just not use the cotton.

what if said cotton was soaked in 151 rum or high powered grain alcohol?

It's $5.... only a quarter of the money that you will have spent to fertilize the garden with your ruined beer.

Just sayin'

$0.10 solution: Get a few inches of tubing that fits tightly inside your racking tubing. Sanitize all, insert your small hose into the racking hose and suck. Pull out just before the beer reaches your little hose and let it flow.

I use straws, the ones that are individually wrapped.
