# The Best Auto Siphons for Racking Ferments Source: https://fermentnest.com/best/best-auto-siphons Updated: 2026-09-15 Publisher: Ferment Nest. Our score is an editorial rating out of 10 (fit 35%, features 25%, build 20%, value 20%), not a customer rating. Method: https://fermentnest.com/how-we-research#our-score Once you ferment in anything bigger than a jar, pouring stops being an option. Tipping a gallon of mead or kombucha stirs up the yeast bed you spent weeks letting settle. An auto siphon fixes that: a couple of pumps starts the flow, and the racking tip pulls clear liquid from above the sediment. The differences between models come down to size, how easily they prime, how well the seal holds over time, and how cleanable the tubing is. We looked at priming effort, seal durability after repeated use, included tubing quality, and whether replacement parts are available, since gaskets are usually the first thing to wear. The slim quarter-size siphons suit one gallon jugs and small-batch brewers. Full-size models move five gallons quickly and suit anyone making beer or large kombucha batches. Whatever you choose, buy a bottling wand and some spare tubing at the same time; you will use both. ## Picks ### 1.
