Syphoning-The container you syphon into has to be lower than the other one!

Syphons,De Gasser and Bottling Machines

Tubes and Syphons. U tubes and bits of taps and things.

If it's got a use in homebrew we have it. Some of this stuff can be used for both wine and beer making.

If there's something you want and we don't have it here please ask and we will get it for you or put it into stock.

Stuff for putting your wine and beer into bottles, having a bucket or fermenter with a tap on it saves some time. You can buy a tap and fit one yourself or just buy one ready made!

Also the Ritchie Degasser- A handy device for knocking all the co2 out of your finished wine! Saves all that shaking. It's also known as the Brewgas Whizz Stick, same thing different names!

Complete- syphon, tube and tap

The most popular, a clear tube, u tube and a tap.

Just make sure the tap end is lower than the other end, suck and the magic of gravity does the rest!

About 5/16" or 8mm id The plastic tube is about 1.5 metres long which with the U tube gives a total length of 1.9 metres. Plenty to get from worktop to the ground!

U Tube Plastic

The plastic u tube on it's own, It's not a u at all any more!

They used to be when they were glass, we still call them u tubes though- Sucks down to stop the sediment being sucked up the tube-Clever eh?

8mm plastic tube 1.5 m

Clear plastic tube std length is 1.5 m and it's enough for most uses! If you want a longer length please mail us and we'll cut it to size

Plastic inline tap

A small plastic tap that fits the standard 8mm tube

1/2" , 12mm tube Clear Plastic

Clear plastic tube with a 1/2" bore--Please ask if you'd like custom lengths

1/2" 12 mm inline plastic tap

inline plastic tap that fits the 1/2" tube. Make your own length of syphon! Take a bit of effort to get a long syphon working, you may have to fill the tube with liquid rather than just suck!

Telescopic Syphon and Tube -Red

Red plastic syphon and tube, extends to reach the bottom of a five gallon fermenter or a demijohn.Comes complete with a clip type tap.

Electric Syphon Pump

Battery operated syphon pump. Uses two D batteries, flow rate 8 to 10 litre a min.
625 mm long with a 375 mm suction tube. It says use for wine , water diesel etc. Looks good to us! Saves unhygenic practices with the suckable type of syphon tube!
Once you turn it off the liquid stops flowing.

I use it on the fish tank at home, it's great

Big Bore Syphon Tube 16mm

A 1.5 metere length of 16mm tube and a tap. For very fast syphoning

Colley-Squeeze action syphon

Like those for nicking petrol, it's a small squeeze operated pump that starts the syphon off. Prevents those unhygenic practices!

Ritchie De Gasser - Brewgas Whizz Stick

It's a stainless rod with two vanes that whizzes around in your wine and knocks the gas out,

You just put it in the electric drill. For safety reasons we'd suggest the rechargeable one!

Works very well and speeds up clearing and maturing of wines

Also known as the Brewgas whizz stick or the degasser, or the Ritchie de gasser! Lots of names for the same thing. We really like this gadget, it does speed up maturing and helps the wine to clear fast!

Especially useful for fast maturing of red wines where the slight 'prickle' left over from fermenting is not wanted

Latstock Bucket Clip

A small plastic clip that supports the u tube and the syphon tube, Clips to the side of the bucket.

The picture gives you the idea! You just get the clip not the tube or the bucket!

Fermtech Auto Syphon 1/2"

Fermtech Auto syphon - You push the small tube into the big tube and it forces the liquid up the tube.

Once it starts it continues by the magic of gravity.

They're very good and will fill 25 bottles in under half an hour.

Fermtech Auto Syphon 3/8

Smaller version of the above, it's perfect for demijohns.

You're better off with the 1/2" version for 5 gallon brews but fermtech says this is the most popular one!

Super Automatic Bottle Filler

Automatic bottle filler , made by buonvino. Fills most bottles and most amounts, for beer , wine or cider!

Fills bottles fast and cleanly, its a good piece of kit for the small micro!

We had a good long play with this gadget and we like it! It's a nice piece of kit.

It fills most bottle sizes , beer, wine cider and half bottles and will cope with as many bottles as you want to fill!

The syphon tube is the bit sticking out the side-it has a bendy piece of wire in it so you can shape it to hook over the side of the bucket which is a great idea, the bottom of the syphon stays where you want it! Right at the bottom of the container and doesn't waggle about disturbing the sediment. Also you can bend the wire to suit any size of bucket which is great!

The auto syphon bit turns off the flow of liquid when the bottle is full! There's magic elves in the bit shaped like a flying saucer, they sense when the bottle is full and turn it off!

There's an adjusting screw to make it work faster or slower

The rubber sleeve that fits in the neck of the bottle is adjustable so you can control the depth the bottle is filled. You need to warm the rubber a bit with hot water to get it to move easily though!

The small pipe coming out the top is the air out as the bottle fills, it also acts as an overflow and a bit of wine can come out of it so it should be put into another bottle just to catch the drips. It also acts as a breathing tube for the magic Elves that make the flying saucer bit work...

It's a bit of a fiddle to set it up but its easy enough. Once it's right its a doddle.

To start it you suck the small tube coming out of the neck of the flying saucer so you're not sucking bits that the wine goes through which is essential in a microbrewery set up.
