Frequently Asked Questions
What is racking in homebrewing?
Racking is the process of transferring your fermented beverage from one vessel to another, typically from a fermenter to a bottling bucket or bottles, leaving sediment behind.
Do I need an auto-siphon?
Yes. An auto-siphon makes transferring liquid much easier and cleaner by starting and maintaining a steady flow without the need for manual suction.
What size tubing should I use?
Most homebrewers use 5/16” transfer tubing for 1-gallon kits and 1/2” tubing for 5-gallon setups. Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks.
How do I prevent oxidation when racking?
Keep the outlet tube below the liquid level in your receiving vessel and avoid splashing during transfer. Use clamps and a gentle siphon flow for best results.
Can I reuse tubing and siphons?
Yes, as long as you clean them thoroughly after each use. Sanitize before every transfer using One Step No Rinse Cleanser.
