Auto-Siphon Mini + 1.5m Tubing 9/13mm - Small Batch Racking Siphon Kit

The Auto-Siphon Mini is a compact automatic racking siphon supplied complete with 1.5 metres of 9/13mm food-grade tubing — a ready-to-use transfer kit sized specifically for small batch brewing, one-gallon fermenters, demijohns, and test batches. One pump stroke primes the siphon and starts a steady, self-sustaining flow — no mouth-siphoning, no splashing, no contaminating a carefully fermented batch, and no fighting to start a flow in a vessel too small for a full-size siphon to even fit.

What makes the Mini a genuinely necessary tool rather than a scaled-down novelty is exactly that fit. A full-size auto-siphon is too long for small vessels — it hits the bottom of a one-gallon demijohn before the intake sits at the right height, forcing you to hold it at an awkward angle above the sediment for the entire transfer. The Mini is proportioned for small fermenters: it sits correctly in the vessel, draws clear liquid from above the yeast cake without disturbing it, and delivers a controlled flow rate that suits small volumes — fast enough to rack a gallon batch in a couple of minutes, gentle enough to leave the sediment exactly where it settled. The sealed pump body keeps air out of the liquid path during priming, protecting aroma and freshness from oxygen exposure at the transfer’s most vulnerable point.

With the included 1.5m of 9/13mm tubing, the kit is complete and ready to rack straight out of the pack — fit the tubing to the outlet, sanitise, pump once, and transfer. For anyone brewing small batches, testing recipes before scaling up, or making one-gallon batches of mead, cider, or country wine, this is the transfer tool that actually fits the job.

Usage

Best suited for: Racking small batches to secondary, bottling from one-gallon fermenters and demijohns, transferring test batches and recipe trials, small-batch mead, cider, and country wine production

Compatible with: One-gallon (4–5L) demijohns and carboys, small fermentation vessels, bottling wands, standard small-batch brewing equipment

Note: For standard 20L+ batches and full-size fermenters, use a full-size 3/8” or 1/2” auto-siphon — the Mini’s flow rate is matched to small volumes and will be slow on large batches.
