Fermtech Auto Siphon 3/8" Mini – small siphon with pump for small batches
The Fermtech Auto Siphon Mini is a small siphon with a built-in pump that makes it easy to start transferring beer, wine or cider. It is suited to smaller batches of 10–12 litres. The removable tip at the bottom keeps sediment out of the transfer. The siphon is easy to use and maintain and comes complete with tubing.
How to use the auto siphon
- Sanitize the siphon and tubing before use
- Place the siphon in the vessel with the tip towards the bottom, and put the end of the tubing in the vessel you are filling, lower than the one you are transferring from
- Pump the plunger a couple of times and the flow starts by itself
- Keep the end of the tubing below the liquid surface in the new vessel to avoid splashing and oxygen pickup

Frequently asked questions about the Fermtech Auto Siphon Mini
What batch size is the Mini suited to?
The Mini is designed for smaller batches of 10–12 litres. For standard 20–25 litre batches, the larger 3/8" Regular is a better fit.
How do I start the siphon?
Pump the plunger a couple of times while the siphon is in the vessel. This draws the liquid into the tubing, and the flow continues by itself as long as the end of the tubing is lower than the vessel you are transferring from.
Can I use the auto siphon for hot wort?
No. The maximum temperature is 49 °C, so the siphon must not be used for hot wort.
How do I avoid picking up sediment?
The removable tip at the bottom keeps sediment out. Keep the tip just above the yeast cake and stop when you get close to the sediment.
