Fermtech Bottling Auto Siphon with Brush, 15" Long Mini Auto-Siphon for 1 Gallon Jugs with 3 feet Tubing and 18" Brush.

I used the siphon once and it was all good, then I went to clean it and used the brush it came with. When I was cleaning it, some plastic piece came out and the siphon didn't work anymore, and I couldn't get the plastic piece to go back in place which honestly was probably my fault because I got frustrated after it wouldn't line up and click back into place after the first couple tries and threw it away to just use the hose the old fashioned way. But if you don't knock that piece out of place it works great.

Great for small batches of beer and doesn't flip out of your small bucket.

As title. Works great, just wish the hose was about 6 inches longer.

I have the larger version of this too, that works better for 3 gallon carboys and above. This is best for 1 -3 gallon wide mouth jugs and 1 gallon jugs with #6/6.5 opening. A few things to know if you've never used one before.1. start the siphon in the middle gently to get it going, then move to the bottom.2. Don't remove the cover on the bottom except to clean as this helps keep a lot of lees out of your brew.3. Be careful when placing the tubing on the siphon as the tubing can be tight,( you don't want it coming off mid siphon ) apply a food grade lubricant if you can.When used from secondary this will help keep the lees to a minimum if any at all, also If you can, buy the bottling wand too as this will make bottling a breeze with less mess .I would recommend this as I use mine regularly.

Not really, it uses a siphon effect to do that. It just sits there and does it's job.

A little unruly when cleaning in a standard sized sink basin, but really worth it for racking/bottling

I bought this to rack my mead from primary to conditioning jars after fermentation. It works beautifully. Very easy to use and easy to clean.

It's great for beginners for homebrews. The brush doesn't fit well for cleaning thoroughly and it's hard to conect the tube with how tight the seal is. Speed is pretty much what you'd expect for the size. I like it but when it comes a time to retire it I'll probably get a different higher quality product.
