Fermtech Auto Siphon - 1/2" Large

Fermtech auto-siphon Large – siphon with pump and 1/2" tube

The original auto-siphon from Fermtech in size Large makes it easy to transfer liquid, for example from a fermenting bucket to a secondary vessel or from a fermenter to a keg. A couple of pump strokes start the flow, with no need to suck on the hose. The removable tip at the bottom keeps sediment from being carried over.

Frequently asked questions about the Fermtech auto-siphon

How do I start the siphon?

Place the siphon in the vessel and the hose in the receiving vessel, which must sit lower. Pull the plunger up and push it down, and the liquid starts to flow by itself.

Can I use it for hot wort?

No. The maximum temperature is 49 °C, so the siphon should only be used for cooled wort, beer, wine and cider.

How do I avoid transferring sediment and oxygen?

The removable tip keeps the sediment behind. Keep the end of the hose below the liquid surface in the receiving vessel so the beer does not splash. That way it picks up less oxygen.
