The Handcraft Supplies Easy Syphon with Throttle Tap makes transferring your brew simple and mess-free. The auto-start pump gets the flow going in seconds, and the throttle tap lets you control the flow rate with ease - perfect for racking, bottling, and transferring between vessels. Large size.
Features:
• Auto-start pump for quick, easy syphoning
• Throttle tap for adjustable flow rate control
• Clip to secure syphon to your vessel
• Keeps intake end off the bottom to avoid disturbing sediment
• Suitable for bottles, carboys, fermenters, and bottling buckets
What's Included
• Easy Syphon body (small)
• Syphon tubing
• Throttle tap
• Securing clip
How to use
• Clean and sanitise all parts of the syphon and tubing that will come into
contact with your brew.
• Place the full fermenter or carboy on an elevated surface (table or counter)
and put your empty receiving vessel (bottling bucket or another carboy)
below it.
• Place the syphon into your brew, keeping the intake end off the bottom to
avoid sediment. Use the clip on the syphon body to secure it to your vessel.
• Ensure the throttle tap is OPEN, then pump the inner tube up and down
quickly, 2-3 times. Liquid should start flowing through the tubing.
• Use the throttle tap to control the flow rate using the notches on the clip.
• As your vessel empties, tilt it slightly and keep the intake end of the
syphon just below the surface, staying above the sediment layer.
• Close the throttle tap completely before removing the syphon to prevent spills.
TIPS:
• Start with a slower flow rate to minimise splashing and oxygen exposure
(this is especially important for beer).
• If using the syphon for bottling, adjust the position of the throttle tap along the
syphon tube so the bottle fills from the base - this helps prevent oxidation.
