Stock Wars III - Revenge of the Syphon

You saw how it was made, you saw what I made with it, and now, how to deal with the aftermath. The strange contraption pictured below is blatantly ripped from the pages of Alton Brown's "I'm Just Here For the Food". Pages 216-217 describe verbally and visually the method I am employing here or at least pretty close to it.
"I make stock only a few times a year-and when I do, I make a lot. And when I need to move it, I fall back on a skill developed in my misspent youth. Now, I am not saying that I actually siphoned gas out of my parent's car so that I could fuel my Pinto and still have money for Big Macs, but... well, yes , that is what I'm saying."
He then details the rig and all of the components. While I pirated the the idea like a Napster junky bootlegs music, I did make some minor adjustments.
I needed a way to stop the flow. Simple physics came to my rescue. Raise the non submerged end if the hose/tubing above the level of the liquid being filched and it will stop flowing. A jumbo binder clip held it to the cabinet handle while I filled zip top bags with liquid love.

I tried filling the baggies all the way at first them remembered a bit of chemistry or physics one.
Water is one of those funky substances that expands when heated (steam) or when cooled (ice).
So I decided to start over and fill my pint bags with only 2 cups of stock each, leaving a nice little bit of wiggle room for expansion as it solidifies. It was also easier to weigh the first 2 cups of stock and use my kitchen scale to measure out the rest.

I used half sheet pans lined with parchment paper to reduce tongue-to-flagpole type freezing of the baggies to the pans. Also only 4 per pan so they wouldn't stick to each other.

Stock making is not hard in and of itself, mostly just time consuming. Ten dollars or so worth of ingredients and taking the time to perform the necessary steps has yielded about 31 cups of stock. That's about 32¢ per cup, compared to approximately 65¢ per cup when buying canned.
AND I actually know exactly whats in it. Priceless

So will I do it again? Damn skippy but not until the leaves start to wallpaper my truck sometime around October.
