Fermtech Auto-Siphon Large 1/2" with 6.5 Feet of 7/16" Tubing and Clamp

What more can you ask of a auto siphon. Works if your an elderly person or weak to carry a water jug over a recpetical too refill it. Works for racking your alchol into a different bottle. Highly reccomend it for any transfer of liquids need. As for its durability for what liquid your using it for? I dont actually know.

From 30 minutes to < 10, I was on a mission to get my brew time down, new 150K burner, wort chiller, bigger kettle, and this baby replaced the last weak link! After racking from my primary I just want to leave most of the yeast and hops behind, I was using a hose with the diameter of a pencil, took a half our, clogged constantly. Us the holder and keep it an inch off the bottom and rack it in <10 minutes!

I have used this 3 times so far in extract brewing, transferring wort to or from glass carboys. It has worked very well, easy to use, not bad to clean. However, the only nit I have so far is that the diameter is large and the head is fairly high. What that means is you won't likely get much trub sucked up the siphon hose, but you'll also probably leave quite a bit of wort/beer in the vessel, perhaps a little more than you would expect. It's not terrible that way, but just something to consider. My older, "manual" siphon allowed me to get a little more wort/beer out.

This siphon makes it very easy to rack my mead. I definitely recommend it.

Bought to replace my smaller auto siphon that broke while pullung off the hose, but it was well worth the mistake! The large siphon makes a huge didference in the time it takes to transfer 5 gal of beer, i wish i broke my old one sooner! Has fewer parts to assemble for use, which was a pain with the old one remembering just how it went together. Less to sanitize, fewer pieces to lose, and transfers speedy quick. Worth it! The clip could be stronger, and takes some adjusting to keep the autosiphon upright, but I'd still say it's worth it.

If you're debating pricing between a regular auto siphon and a large one, go for this large one. Racking time is significantly faster. Materials are also quality, easy to clean.

Used once and plastic piece that connects to hose broke - recut and reattached and broke again. Assuming it’s very brittle, certainly doesn’t last long

It works as advertised, but everything that I've read recommends that you store these with the inner sleeve separate from the outer one to prevent the rubber seal from being permanently smashed. This must be glued b/c no amount of reasonable force can twist the end caps off...We'll see how long it lasts, I may have to revise my rating down.
