3/8" Mini Auto-Siphon

Mini 3/8" Auto-Siphon – Perfect for 1–2 Gallon Batches

The Mini 3/8" Auto-Siphon is the go-to racking tool for small-batch brewers and winemakers. Sized just right for 1–2 gallon fermenters, it starts transfers cleanly with a single pump—no mouth siphoning, no mess, and reduced oxidation.

Key Features

• One-Pump Start: Prime instantly with a single pull/push—fast, simple, and sanitary.
• Small-Batch Friendly: Compact cane length ideal for 1 & 2 gallon vessels.
• Durable & Clear: Sturdy polycarbonate lets you monitor flow and avoid sediment pickup.
• Tubing Compatibility: Works with 3/8" ID silicone tubing or 5/16" plastic transfer tubing (5 feet of tubing is recommended).
• Gentle on Your Brew: Minimizes oxidation and keeps trub/lees undisturbed for clearer transfers.

How to Fit 5/16" Tubing (Easy Method)

If you prefer lower cost tighter-fitting 5/16" tubing, warm the tubing end to make it more pliable:

1. Heat water in a microwave-safe cup until hot (not boiling).
2. Submerge the tubing end for 15–30 seconds.
3. Slide the softened tubing over the siphon’s racking cane—once cooled, it grips firmly.

Great For

• Transferring beer from primary to bottling bucket (small batches)
• Racking mead or wine to secondary without stirring up sediment
• Moving cider cleanly off the lees

Use & Care Tips

• Sanitize first: Always sanitize the auto-siphon and tubing before use.
• Start above sediment: Keep the cane tip just above trub/lees for clearer transfers.
• Smooth strokes: A single steady pump is all you need to prime.
• Rinse after: Rinse with warm water; let air dry before storage.
