Siphoning Equipment

The Fermtech thief is simply a plastic tube with a check valve in the bottom. When placed in liquid, such as beer or wine, the liquid will bypass the check and the thief will rise to the liquid level. Taking the thief out will cause the check valve to seat, allowing liquid to be taken out. A hydrometer can then be placed in the thief, or the liquid can be drained into a test jar by pushing the check up against the side of the jar. This makes taking a gravity reading a snap! It's also great for pulling samples of your beer/wine from your carboy or a barrel.

The Fermtech Auto Siphon is a handy tool used in transferring and racking. Instead of manually starting a siphon as you would with a racking cane, all the auto siphon requires is a few quick pumps! Much easier and more convenient than a racking cane, this auto siphon works with 1/2" ID siphon tubing for quicker transfers. Use one of these today and you'll never go back to a racking cane!

The Fermtech Auto Siphon is a handy tool used in transferring and racking. It is self-priming, so starting a siphon is as easy as pumping this a few times and letting your beer or wine flow! This one will take either 5/16" or 3/8" ID siphon tubing, though the 5/16" ID tubing will fit more snugly and be more difficult to remove. If you're sick of trying to manually starting a siphon with a racking cane, the Fermtech Auto Siphon is for you!

The Fermtech auto siphon clamp is perfect for holding the mini or regular-sized auto siphons in place while you rack. It gives some stability when racking from a bucket, but will hold the auto siphon perfectly in place when used in the neck of a standard glass carboy, allowing you to rack and transfer easily and conveniently without having to use both hands! A must have for ease and convenience!

Perfect for small batches! This mini auto siphon is the right size for racking out of small 2 gallon fermentation buckets or 1 gallon glass jugs.

Works with 5/16" ID tubing.This is ideal for those doing 1 gallon batches of beer, wine, cider, mead...you name it!

This auto siphon clamp will hold the large auto siphon in place while you rack.

A small clamp like this can make a world of difference when racking. Whether racking to several vessels or taking a sample for a hydrometer reading, stopping the flow of liquid without breaking the siphon can be invaluable, not to mention convenient. This clamp will work with tubing that is 3/8" ID or smaller.

Replacement tip for the large auto siphon (product # 4879).

This large racking can is 30" long, with a curve at one end and a black plastic tip at the other. The black plastic tip provides some shielding from trub and sediment when racking. With 1/2" OD tubing, this will complete racking quicker by transferring more liquid at a faster rate than the smaller racking cane. 1/2" ID siphon tubing works wonderfully with this racking cane to help you accomplish all your racking needs!
