Syphon & Spares

Home Brew Syphon and Spares

If you're looking to brew your own beer or other beverages at home, you may be interested in purchasing a syphon or spare parts to help with the process. Here are some options to consider:

1. Auto-syphon: This popular tool makes it easy to transfer liquids between containers without introducing air or contaminants. It's designed to work with various containers and can be used for beer, wine, cider, and other beverages.
2. Racking cane: A racking cane is a long, thin tube that can be used to syphon liquid from one container to another. It's typically made of plastic  and is often used in combination with a hose and clamp.
3. Tubing: You'll need flexible tubing to connect your syphon or racking cane to your containers. Food-grade silicone tubing is a popular option, as it's flexible, durable, and easy to clean.
4. Bottle filler: If you're bottling your homebrew, a bottle filler can make the process much easier and more efficient. You can use a spring-loaded bottle filler to fill bottles quickly and precisely while minimizing the amount of oxygen that gets introduced.
5. Replacement parts: If you already have a siphon or other brewing equipment, you may need to replace some parts occasionally. Common replacement parts include hoses, clamps, and gaskets.

Many different types of home brew syphons are available, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Some popular options include:

• Automatic syphons: These syphons use a pump to create suction, which draws the liquid from one container to another. They are easy to use and can be used for various tasks, such as bottling beer or transferring a wine from one carboy to another.
• Manual syphons: These syphons use gravity to draw the liquid from one container to another. They are less expensive than automatic syphons, but they require more effort to use. They are often used for tasks such as transferring a wine from one carboy to another or bottling wine from a barrel.

When choosing a syphon, it is essential to consider the type of liquid you will be using it with. For example, if you are using it with wine, you must choose a siphon made from food-grade plastic or glass.

It is also essential to consider the size of the syphon. If you are using it to bottle beer, you will need a large syphon to accommodate the amount of beer you will be bottling.

Once you have chosen a syphon, take care of it. After each use, rinse it with warm water and soap. If you will be storing it for an extended period, keeping it in a cool, dry place is best.
