The automatic transmissions they use are the same This is siphoning. Five sixteenths of an inch is the OD of the siphon, and three eighths is the ID of the tubing that goes
23 1/8" is the length of the outer tube, and 22" is the length of the inner rod
There is a diameter of about 3/8"-" Approximately 1/2" is the right size, I think.
It is powered by an automatic It works well if you are transferring a liquid from up high to down low. If you are trying to go from a lower to a higher point, it won't work.
Selected User Reviews For Regular 5/16" Auto-Siphon
The Auto Spiral System I ordered along with the Vinbrite wine filter system was smaller than the automatic siphon I already had, but it is the same size as the one I already had. It is unfortunate that the auto siphon is the same size as the filter hose, and thus will In order to save the siphon as a backup, I will save them as return shipping would probably exceed what I paid for them. My wish is to find one that's a bit smaller, so I can fit it with my Vinbrite filter.
The plastic hose is a necessary component of this product. When you are ready to transfer wine from one barrel to another, all systems go, and then you have to stop what you are doing to go down to the hardware store for a 95 cent Let's not let this chance pass us by. When you sell specialty products that are not meant for daily use, don't be stingy with your pricing. If there is no plastic hose with a siphon, how am I supposed to know it? It was a foolish move on my part.
A siphon is a great tool to have if you want to siphon beer or Kombucha. This is a much better alternative for racking canes with the exception of one small The fact that the product is made of plastic makes it not very durable. There's a good chance that it will crack. The odd one of these I purchase every other year seems to be a recurring theme. The metal one would be more durable if it were made from metal. Even if I had to buy my last one for the rest of my life, I would spend the additional money.
I like what I see. The auto siphon is the easiest and best siphon out there. It is the same siphon I see all other kombucha companies selling on their websites (such as Kombucha Brooklyn) and I use it for my kombucha brewing. I like it a lot and it is pretty easy to keep If you order this, make sure to order some tubing along with it since it does not come with it. In my opinion, this size would be best suited to large, multiuse rooms It's overkill for 1 gallon or smaller containers and should be reserved for five-gallon containers.
As a replacement for the racking cane that came with my homebrew kit, I purchased this. What a cool thing! I love it! Only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the small check valve in the bottom has come loose twice. When I first got it and was messing around with it, I pulled too fast and the suction broke the plastic clips off. I dropped it a second time Fortunately, this easily fixable problem can be corrected, but it can be tricky finding something long enough to align and press the valve The pros include As long as I have my siphon, I can siphon beer on my own without Creates enough suction to push all the air out of the line and thus preventing turbulence from occurring during the transfer of oxygen* Easy to clean, simply siphon cleaners and disinfectants through it
*Cons There are several disadvantages to a plastic check valve it is easily removed and difficult to install again.
I like the way the product is packaged and the way it was made. I think it is ridiculous that there are instructions on a little bitty rectangle of gloss paper in 5 point type. You might want to do a web search to locate some general instructions that are readable while lying on the counter while you make your beer.
A MUCH BETTER SIPHON THAN A Having purchased this from the very beginning would have been a great idea. I was able to get the wort flowing from my fermenting bucket to the carboy with 2 pumps and it was very easy to Homebrewers should not be without this handy guide. Take care with the end of the connection where your tubing goes, but it is not as fragile as a manual siphon/rack.
I have never dealt with such a slow autosiphon. There may be a reason for this the length of the tubing I'm using is only about three feet(I ran out of tubing), but the diameter of this siphon is smaller than the siphon I was using previously, which slows it down so much. It will literally take me 5 minutes to reach the office Every time I rack a 5 gallon batch, it takes me about 6 minutes to hold this siphon. Also, I had to do a rewrite I often use a pump to use the siphon. This kicks up the lees a little too much, which defeats the entire purpose of rack As a result, I will consider this a waste of time and money, and I will go buy the siphon I used.
