Racking Canes

[Fourstar]

i do the water method but with starsan i use to sanitise the hose. I simply run off a little of the beer (maybe 300ml) to ensure i knock out excessive sanitiser (usually the beer follows an air pocket after the sanitiser anyway) then transfer to secondary/keg.

Easy as pie! Ive also thaught about using a beer out connect connected to the beer out post on my keg with some line and dangle that into the fermenter below the surface . Then use a gas in connector on the gas post with a small length of line and breathe in. The only issue is i purge my kegs with CO2 first. So unless i want to pass out and/or die, it aint happening anytime soon. Maybe i can somehow fill the gas line post with water or sanitiser to create a vacuum? by pouring it out into a bucket or something as using vinyl tubing in fridge cold beer is a royal PITA as it sets like concrete!

Got my Easy Auto Syphon from the same place years ago & never had a dud syphon get. Only use it for kegging\racking wort in my plastic fermenters that have no tap. It's no good with hot liquids though as the plastic would buckle from the heat.
Not sure if you can get stainless steel ones in Australia although I've seen them on some Yank websites but can't find them ATM.

It wouln't be any good for hot wort, but perfect for fermented beer ready to be packaged.

Mine worked, for around 10 batches until the plastic fractured on the outer tube and the bobble to start the siphon broke Was great while it lasted!

Hmm...I thought that it would have cracked from the heat on the first run...or warped from it at the very least.

I use one of these, not sure where you get them here in Australia. Racking cane goes through centre hole and I attach a sanitary filter to the other one, then attach aquarium pump to sanitary filter to pressurize carboy or cube enough to get syphon started. Eezy peezy.

I do know that place ships to Australia, I bought 500ml of StarSan from them before it was sold here and they shipped it no problems.

Does anyone know what this device was - the link does not work anymore?
