Why Use an Auto Syphon?
An auto syphon makes transferring your brew significantly easier than using traditional siphon tubing.
Instead of trying to start a siphon manually, simply pump the centre tube once or twice to begin the flow. The rigid racking cane also helps you keep the intake above the sediment layer, resulting in cleaner transfers with less disturbance to the yeast cake.
Border Brewing Pro Tip
To achieve the clearest possible beer, chill your fermenter for 24–48 hours before transferring. This allows yeast and hop particles to settle, making it easier for the auto syphon to leave sediment behind.
Always sanitise the syphon and tubing thoroughly before use to help prevent contamination.
