That’s crazy money. I’d drill a hole and use this- Brewing Equipment - Ss Brewing Technologies Stainless Eqp. - Ss Brewtech Accessories - SS Brewtech Racking Arm - The Malt Miller | The Malt Miller

Wow that is expenSSSive... the video for the siphon on the malt miller website was interesting mainly for the fact everyone seemed to have massive hair?!
It’s a pass from me unless they also throw in a massive wig.

I'm trying to source one at the mo. Been through 3 useless plastic ones at £20 each already. Cant seem to get one in uk anymore as the Malt Miller has stopped supplying them. Buying one direct from Brewsssential would cost $180 plus god knows what import duties.

£125 for a syphon. Really? My £20 plastic one is still going strong after 8 years.

I put one in the dish washer and ruined it. The rubber plunger thing wore out on another one. Bought another one yesterday so hopefully it'll last longer.

I like the adapter to adjust the height of it in the carboy. If I was using carboy's still I might be tempted to get one of these myself haha!...

I’m not entirely sure what the objective is here, but if it is to start a siphon without risk of contamination then would something like this work? It’s a tube with a tee piece fitted and two taps.

1. Close tap A, open tap B and suck on the open end until liquid flows down to A. It won’t flow further up tube B than the fluid level in the FV.
2. Close tap B and open tap A: the siphon will now run.

Personally I find a bottom tap works well, but I guess that’s not always possible - e.g. with a glass demijohn

I use a short piece of syphon tube attached to a syphon tap i join this to the the main syphon tube to start the flow i then close the tap and remove the short piece of tube.

Love the diagram. Yes I'm sure that would work. I just like the look of the stainless steel one as it all comes apart for easy cleaning and I the spring clip to hold it in position. The plastic sorts never work that well in my experience.
