Racking & Transferring Wine

When siphoning is impractical or too time consuming, the home winemaker needs a pump. We helped pioneer the use of diaphragm pumps as an economical, gentle method to move small volumes of wine. This new take on an old favorite includes speed control. Now you can dial in the flow from 0 to 3 gallons per minute. Gentle, economical, flexible, and wow are all adjectives we would use to describe the performance. When this pump was first introduced to us, we loved the idea, but had concerns that the speed control would compromise the longevity of the motor. We build much larger pumps (our ChunkyPumps for commercial wineries) and normally you need a $700 frequency drive to control motor speed. However, we kept in touch with the manufacturer and after three years in which he has not had any issues, and after our own testing, we are now sold that this pump performs as promised. The manufacturer offer a 1 year warranty. A diaphragm pump works by moving wine through one pulsating diaphragm into the next. In this design, as opposed to a centrifugal pump which has a small head spinning at high speeds, the shear value is small meaning the wine is not as "beat up". A diaphragm pump is self-priming, meaning that it will "pump air" creating suction that will pull liquid out of your container and into the pump head. This makes the pump very easy to use for the home winemaker. This pump comes with 1/2" barbed ports for easy connectivity.  Comes with 4' tubing on both sides. 110 Volts, 0.5 Amp, 60 Hz. Includes a built-in pre filter to help prevent solid materials from entering the pump head and potentially damaging the diaphragms, which would prevent the pump from being able to move liquid. The clear plastic top of the pre filter unscrews for cleaning.

What does this bottle filler have that the rest don't? A removable tip and spring that make this model easily sanitized. Plus, the spring inside can be removed if you prefer the action of a springless bottle filler. The actual "wand" on the filler is 12 inches long. The plastic end fits nicely into our FE346 spigot, or it can be removed to attach 3/8" ID tubing.

Thin walled tubing perfect for siphoning or tranferring liquids when not under pressure. This is the most common size hose for homebrewing that you would need to fit onto the plastic spigots (FE347), 3/8'' OD bottle fillers, and the 3/8'' OD racking canes. 3/8" ID, 1/2" OD 1/8" thick wall

Functions the same as a standard Hose Clamp, however rather than needing to find a screwdriver (or dime!) for every adjustment you can easily tighten by hand. As an added bonus, this also has a significantly smoother inside to the clamp, which will not tear up your tubing nearly as much as a standard hose clamp! Ideal for situations where you need to remove tubing from fittings to sanitize.

Allows for easy and efficient gas transfers, ensuring minimal oxygen exposure and preserving the delicate flavors and aromas of your barrel-aged creations! Stainless lock down mechanism to adjust height Compression Silicone Bung to form airtight seal with barrel Adjustable lees pin Transfer wine out of a barrel using inert gas to reduce oxidization with our Gas Transfer Tool. After using most all similar tools on themarket, we took what we liked and disliked and made our own. Obviously we love the price!... but perhaps more impressive is the polished finish and the excellent quality welds. We sell it without a sight-gauge welded in or attached. We found it easier to clean without a welded in place sight-gauge. We also found that most wineries already had other sight-gauges in the winery and did not need it included. Of course it is available as an option, (sight-gauge H664, clamp H652, gasket, h656.) Replacement gaskets and parts in stock and available.   Quality Features Stainless lock down mechanism to adjust height Polished stainless tube Compression Silicone Bung to form airtight seal with barrel Adjustable lees pin Made from 304 stainless steel Specifications 1.5" Tri-Clover Outlet 1/4" Stainless Steel Ball Valve with FPT inlet for inert gas 31" height from lees pin to pictured stopper

The ultimate pump for home winemaking use. Self-priming (will push air) so that it can draw out of a tank. Gentle diaphram action so as to not "beat up" the wine. Made of food-grade, NSF approved, materials polypropylene and santoprene, so no metallic interaction with wine. Pumps 3 gallons per minute. Flow can be restricted with an inline valve positioned on the outflow side. Self-regulating motor is designed to temporarily shut down, and then turn back on, when restriction pressure exceeds pump capacity. Has a heat limitation of 125 degrees Fahrenheit so cannot be used in brewing applications. Pump is equipped with 1/2" Male NPT posts on the inlet and outlet. Does not include the plastic barb fittings you will need to purchase separately. Please see the "You Might Also Need" section below for our recommendations regarding which fittings to attach to the pump. Please Note: The diaphragms in this pump are very sensitive to sediment and particulates and can be damaged if any solids are taken into the pump head. We recommend using an Inline Pre-Filter (FIL26) if you think there's a risk of sucking up solids with your inlet hose (pumping during pressing, for instance).

Cleaning balls are super handy for scrubbing the inside of your transfer tubing. Simply insert into the end of the suction-side tubing connected to your pump and turn the pump on. Be careful not to draw the ball in to the pump head. For the outlet side of the pump, disconnect the tubing from the pump, insert the ball, reattach and turn on the pump. for best results repeat several times on each side. If stains persist, fill your lines with a warm PBW solution and let sit for about an hour before scrubbing again. Available in sizes for 1/2", 1", 1.5" and 2.5" inner diameter tubing.

An inline sanitary filter that filters down to .027 micron with a 99.99% efficiency. Use it anywhere you need to keep something sanitary. Both 1/4" and 3/8" tubing will attach and it will snugly fit in any standard stopper as well. Check out this list of suggested uses: Airlock: The most common use might be as an airlock on any kind of fermenter. Unlike other small sanitary filters, this unit fits perfectly into a stopper. Works great for conical fermenters, like the Fermentap and our own Stainless Conicals, where displacement air is taken in when samples are taken or trub is dumped. Using the sanitary filter as airlock also eliminates the concern of drawing air back in as hot liquid cools and contracts in a fermenter. Not appropriate for long term storage of beer or wine as it is not an oxygen barrier. Inline Aeration/Oxygenation Filter: With an oxygenation or aeration sytem, such as our FE375 or FE380, it will filter contaminants out of oxygen or air. It is connected inline between pump/O2 tank and s/s diffusion stone. Hand Pumps: Some breweries use this filter with the breweries hand pump system. Air going back into the cask is sanitized through this filter. This has extended shelf life of Real Ales by up to 2 weeks! CO2 Filtration: Used inline with your CO2 Kegging setup, this piece can be used to filter out any potential contaminants from your CO2 Tank. Storage: Store in Ziplock bag in a dry place with minimal moisture exposure. Can last up to 1 year. Discard if there are any signs of discoloration. About the inline filters: There are two sides to the filter - an "in" and an "out". The direction you use doesn't matter, however, you want to take note of which way you first push air through it and always keep it that way. There is an arrow on the edge of the filter housing that we use to keep the air flow going one direction when using it. The filter should never get wet, so don't try and sanitize it by dunking it in sanitizer. If you want to clean the outside of it, use Alpet D2. To store the filter, use a little tinfoil on the "In" of the filter and store in a zip-lock bag. This product qualifies as a HEPA filter under US government standards. STORE DRY AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT SANITIZE FILTER. **NOTE: Temporarily shipping a smaller diameter unit due to supply chain issues**
