FAQs
How do I prime the Simple Syphon?
Place the syphon into the liquid, and gently suck on the outlet tube until the liquid flows. Alternatively, fill the syphon tube with water before placing it in the liquid and inverting it to start the flow.
Can I use this for other liquids?
While designed for brewing, it can be used for other food-grade liquids, provided it is cleaned and sanitized properly.
What kind of cleaner should I use?
Use a brewing cleaner specifically designed for removing beer or wine residue. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
How do I sanitize the syphon?
Use a food-grade sanitizer. Follow the sanitizer's instructions for the correct dilution and contact time. Ensure all parts are submerged.
How do I store the Simple Syphon?
Clean and sanitize the syphon after use. Store in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Why is my beer cloudy after using the syphon?
Ensure you are careful to avoid disturbing the sediment at the bottom of the fermentation vessel. Slow down the flow to reduce the chances of sediment transfer. Make sure the syphon is clean and sanitized.
Troubleshooting
Syphon not starting.
Ensure all connections are airtight. Check for kinks in the tubing. Try priming the syphon again.
Sediment is being transferred.
Make sure the syphon intake is above the sediment layer. Control the flow rate to prevent disturbance.
Liquid flow is slow.
Check for any obstructions in the tubing. Make sure the receiving vessel is lower than the source vessel. Ensure there are no leaks.
