Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to know. I don't know why Wilkinson don't seem to have any instructions on how to use their syphon kits but you did the job perfectly.
Super helpful. I’ve been siphoning badly for 30+ years; now that I’ve watched this, I need to time travel back. My life and carpets will be much happier
I am so Excited. I just Got a wine kit. Named My First wine I am Making. * Celestial Pumpkin Nectar. * Find out in year how I did. LOL can't wait. Remind me.
I had the right gear but had no idea how to Syphon my beer. Your vid was the one to show me how, what luck. Now I've got beer in my bottles and I didn't have to suck.
Was looking for a homebrew syphoning instructional vid, saw the thumbnail, said "that guy looks like he knows wtf he's doing," was not incorrect. Thanks.
Excellent Presentation...thanks deeply for sharinG!!! I made some wine and today I noticed that it stopped fermentinG so it's time I bottle it up tonight! I am allergic to alcohol but when we get very heavy rainstorms or snow storms...my Arthritis flares up badly and one or two bubbly goes down wonderfully! May Our Precious Creator of liFe bless you deeply for teaching uS new bees to winemaking how to siphon the bottles properly! I am going galavantinG today and I hope that I can finD your awesome gadget for transfering wine because I absolutely forgot to pick it up at Brew for Less the last time I was there!!! I saw Iron Maiden years ago at the Coliseum when I was a young pup! Happi Summer fellow wine maker!✌😇🌎🍷🌹🌻😍🌻🌻
really useful to know, made red wine and maple wine a few times and just directly poured the wine from the brewing jug into bottles. made the wine taste bitter if it got really mixed up before I drank it. gonna use a syphon this time for my maple wine
You have definitely earned this like and fallow been trying to figure this out, as I only have one week left!! No one has explained it so I can understand until now!
Watch your twitch streams and shorts all the time. Your SOT videos never seem to come up on my home page so I have notifications on, and the first video YT recomends on my home page is this one. lol.
Good call. Instead of using a tea towel, gently pull the end of the hose from the plastic tubing. You can then slide the tubing through a bung then reconnect the plastic pipe. Sticking the bung back into the bottle gives the symphony a solid fix to keep it in place. You can slowly slide the tube to the right depth as required.
Behaving Beardly I’ve got a few corks that I’ve drilled the bore slightly larger to fit the pipe. Small details and the cloth is a good shout but thought I’d share. Great idea and can’t believe I’ve never thought of doing that before. Something in my mind thought the flow itself started the process rather than gravity 😔
Nice instructions to follow, i have been sing the water method for years, rather then straight to the bottle, i use a sterilised funnel and coffee filter paper takes a little bit longer to fill the bottles but catches any of the sediment that does make it up the tube
Last night I had a brainwave and realised a way you can achieve the same hygiene level without the fuss where you CAN simply suck to start the siphon and avoid filling the pipe with water... Simply cut a 2" section of pipe [=the 'mouthpiece'] and fit it to the outlet of the tap. Suck on the mouthpiece to start the siphon, and when the liquid starts to flow through the main pipe, pull the mouthpiece from the tap, before the liquid reaches the tap, and let the liquid flow into your vessel uncontaminated, without the need for water. The long end of the tap is tapered, so it naturally lets you pull off the mouthpiece easily.
Thank you!! I shouldve watched this before I racked my mead. I wound up using a lot of marbles in the carboy due to there being a lot of headspace. Do you know the best way to rack/siphon around marbles??
Could you alternatively siphon out the sediment and leaving pure wine (without sediment I mean)? Like what they do with siphons to clean out fish tanks
You made it look so simple , why does the instruction on the box sound so complex . I got 5 long paragraphs referring me back and forth to instructiona,b,c etc. Thank you sir !!
What is the exact name of the siphon you used with the control? I can’t find it on amazon anywhere and it looks like the most convenient pump out there! Thanks:)
i have this ame kit but have not got a clue why it is not working! do you need to fill it with water first before putting it in the wine to then open the tap to drain it out? won't water go in the wine?
My brewing kit came with the crappy tube with a clamp that doesn't even work. What should I search for online to get the same type of siphon? (I'm in America so getting it from the same store may be difficult lol)
When i try and fill mine with water it just comes out the other end and fills the bowl I have on the floor. Is my siphon faulty? Should it only run one way?
Hi I am having the same problem! The end with the sediment filter just lets the water out! I have a tap on the other end, but it’s so difficult to operate I ended up using my finger! Also, the tube has so many kinks, that can’t help! I don’t want to end up diluting my cider with water. 😢
Love it mate. Just watched a guy stick his whole tube in the must then stick his hand in to close the nozzel coz using your mouth is unhygienic wtf! 😂😂😂

This is brilliant, thanks! Just syphoning my first batch of mead and was annoyed there were no instructions on the wilko syphon 😅
4 years later and this informative piece showed up! Thanks for the lesson beardly!

@@BehavingBeardly Ya Trying a Pumpkin Pie Wine. Find out next year.. 🙂

Cheers lad! Couldnt find any straight forward videos on how to get this done, this has helped me massively!
Thanks this saved me from using my mouth to start off the pump action, since my auto-siphon broke on rack day.

my man, thanks so much. You may have just saved my first home brew kit, so, so grateful for this video!
My pleasure!

standard.... hahah
Works great! I use a sterilised jug and water instead of a tap to cut down the risk of infection
Hell yeah!
I got a syphon in a brewing kit and though surely they don't expect me to use my mouth. This video cleared that up for me thanks
Glad it helped!
Nice work - will try this on my first cider production from an excess of apples. Thanks for the video!
Seems such a simple thing once you see it, but until you actually do it it mystifies... thank you kindly! Also, sweet T-shirt! Up the Irons!

Bravo Sir thank you
Nice and senseful explanation how it worked and what to looking for. :)
This worked straight away like a dream. Thanks so much
Thank you for this!
Thank you
Thanks, this really helps. On my first Home Brew kit so it's all a bit daunting
Did it turn out well?
the fact that I watched this whole video knowing full well... I will never use it... but I just wanted to watch behaving beardly being so helpful!!!
Thank you for sharing

Rock on. Nice one.

I know it was 2 years ago but that's a bloody good idea.
Just opened my Wilko siphon to find no instructions with it so this video was a god send ... Thank you so much.
Same! Did you panic when the lockdown started too?
@@chebghobbi Sure did .... never mind the toilet rolls some things are more important !!!
Turn the tap on and back off to get rid of the water, then start syphoning. I wouldn't want any water in the wine 😛
Awesome bro super helpful! The whole siphon thing was confusing the life out of me haha
Nice one, many thanks 🤘
Thank you from me and my Chardonnay for saving it’s life 🙌🏻
Simply splendid.... Great... All ee can do instead of filling pipe with tap water fill it with sodium meta bisulphite solution
Cheers for the tips!
Thank you!! I shouldve watched this before I racked my mead. I wound up using a lot of marbles in the carboy due to there being a lot of headspace. Do you know the best way to rack/siphon around marbles??
This video is great - thanks a lot for great advice! Also - great Iron Maiden shirt!
Love the "Maiden" shirt. 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you!
I feel so stupid now... but at least you have proven that you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Cheers dude... helped massively :)
Excellent explanation. Thanks very much. :)
Perfect. Just about to get my Wilko symphony out of the packet. Thanks for your help.
Alright cheers for this - on a deadline, so about to try it with just the tube. Fingers crossed!
Bit messy, but it worked. Thanks again!
Hey this is great :) just wondering if a mesh filter would be just as good for separating sediment from brew
Could you alternatively siphon out the sediment and leaving pure wine (without sediment I mean)? Like what they do with siphons to clean out fish tanks
You made it look so simple , why does the instruction on the box sound so complex . I got 5 long paragraphs referring me back and forth to instructiona,b,c etc. Thank you sir !!
@@BehavingBeardly on behalf of all first timers , thank you for the clarity bro , will be sipping homebrew in no time !! 👊
Thanks bud, guess I'll go get one.
Wicked. Thanks 4 that
up the irons!! great video!!
Yeah m8te iron maiden ! Your gonna have brew and pirate madness june 22 hype is real !
@@BehavingBeardly i been on ps02 then switching in 7 days xD
Great video mate
What is the exact name of the siphon you used with the control? I can’t find it on amazon anywhere and it looks like the most convenient pump out there!
Thanks:)
Cheers!
what was the plastic bladder you held up at the end? do you have a link?
Not sure... been YEARS since I did any of this sorry
Very informative,but don't you need to filter it? I'm new to wine making.
Can we use the normal pipe to remove the sediments ?
How do you dry the hose after cleaning your siphon so it doesn't get mold?
Run it through with a food safe cleaning solution and don't rince after use. it shouldn't go mouldy.
@@BehavingBeardly so just soaking with starsan will be ok?
@@desiraejenks2608 yup!
i have this ame kit but have not got a clue why it is not working! do you need to fill it with water first before putting it in the wine to then open the tap to drain it out? won't water go in the wine?
Is getting that excess water running thru the siphon getting into your beer? And does it affect it?
My brewing kit came with the crappy tube with a clamp that doesn't even work. What should I search for online to get the same type of siphon? (I'm in America so getting it from the same store may be difficult lol)
@@BehavingBeardly thank you!
Why don't you want to disturb the sediment (first time brewer) ?
How the hell did you get it to fill with water? For me it just empties into the basin.
@@BehavingBeardly Thanks, I managed to figure it out.
So, hang on...When can I spit out the gasoline?🤢🤮
Seriously though, really clear explanation, thanks.
Up the Irons!
Cheech and chong did that lol
Did you leave the sediment trap just above the settled crap at the bottom of the demi John?
Will give it a shot. First time I've brewed in a glass demijohn as opposed too a 25litre FV :)
Thanks. This is literally long video showing how it's done.
Where did you buy that tap
Ok, so I tried this with the exact same Wilco siphon.. when i tried to fill the tube, the water just came out the other end! What am I doing wrong?
@@BehavingBeardly Yes, but HOW?!!! :-)
@@BehavingBeardly Thanks, I appreciate you replying! I must be a bit thick! When I do this the water just drains out of the other end into the bowl!
When i try and fill mine with water it just comes out the other end and fills the bowl I have on the floor. Is my siphon faulty? Should it only run one way?

Thanks very much, I'm sorted for next week's siphoning now! Liked and subbed.
Great shirt too!
👌🏻👌🏻
Use a bung on the tube instead of the tea towel
dammit, I stirred the sediment
Hey I need some help
So you only have to close one end and the water won't escape out of the other? What witchcraft is this?
Air lock
Love it mate. Just watched a guy stick his whole tube in the must then stick his hand in to close the nozzel coz using your mouth is unhygienic wtf! 😂😂😂
That's the traditional way of doing it, but with beer you might as well forget it 😂
