"I also found that the carboy pretty much needs to be more than two feet over the top of the receiving bottle, and even more height is encouraged, which I thougth was excessive."
"Maybe it was the hot water we used for cleaning, regardless we cant use the pumping action."
"I found that pulling the tube almost all the way out and pushing it back in using a long stroke works the best."
"This siphon is easy to use and works every time."
"If in shallow liquid, just pump a few times until fluid starts flowing over the top and moving by itself."
"No matter how much I pumped this, I could never get a steady stream of beer from my kettle into my fermenter (which was obviously placed a few feet lower than my kettle)."
"I've also had to re-pump the siphon nearly every time ive used it, which kicks up the lees a little bit, defeating the purpose of racking."
The clear tubing provides unobstructed visual monitoring of flow, and the Tygon formulation B-44-4X polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is flexible for installing in a variety of locations. The plastic tubing is not designed for use as an implant material, but it is suitable for use in food, beverage, and dairy processing, flavor and vitamin concentrate dispensing, and aseptic filling, among other applications. Plastic tubing is crimp-resistant and varies in bend radius (flexibility), chemical resistance, wall thickness, durometer hardness, and temperature and pressure handling abilities.

When the differential pressure of the Radon system indicates that there is water in the pipes, I open the valve to drain the water. The clear Tygon tubing allows me to see when all the water has been drained."
"Works great for beer brewing, right size for the 1/6 keg standard size that the soda Coke and Pepsi people are not using anymore."
"I had expected this to be a bit thicker, but is great for what it is."
"Beer beer said the private."
Flexible tubing for racking tubes, auto sipohon, wine tank pumps and blow-off hose. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I have broken these boys due to water(of course there is gonna be water! Cleaning is a cinch and glass is heavy but superior to any plastic. I use R/O water for drinking and R/O water can make plastic leech so the glass is superior to any plastic."
"Be sure that the carboy is place on a soft surface (just a glass fermenter law.... Not specific to this fermenter) I will be purchasing another shortly for an Imperial IPA change over."
"I was a bit worried about packaging and receiving glass, but it was packed very carefully and had "fragile" stickers on the box."
"The carboy is fine - good, strong, thick glass - should serve well and last quite a while."
"i was worried about shipping issues but man everything worked out great!!"
"It's large enough to hold as much beer as I can pour into it so I don't have to worry about overflows since I make beer in a 5 gallon pot."
"Easier to clean and move around as well as pitch yeast or take measurements with a wide mouth bucket."
"And unlike plastic if handled carefully these will last forever and not need to be replaced like there plastic counter parts."

In my reading, I considered ways to approach strengthening my immune system and internal health and it was here I first learned about Kombucha. As delicious and health infusing as it was, it also was becoming a noticeable expense at over $100 a month in additional grocery bills for just one item. I watched some videos about making your own Kombucha and coincidently, about that time, Amazon offered this Kit in their Deals at half off. I thought, well, that price represents just 6 bottles of my grocery store purchases and less than just one batch of making my own, so let's give it a try. The Kit has everything you need minus the large glass fermentation container, which I picked up at a local housewares store. Basically, the Kit contains a generous supply of loose tea for brewing multiple batches. After the water comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and put in your tea; about 2 tablespoons for my quantity of water.The Kit does supply small burlap type pouches to contain the loose tea, but I quickly opted for a large steel ball container I bought separately on Amazon as well. The sugar isn't to make sweet tea, but will be the food the bacteria will consume as they multiply and produce the fermentation. Transfer the tea into your glass fermentation jar and add the supplied SCOBY along with the starter Kombucha. Since these smaller bottles will be sealed and gas cannot escape, you should obtain additional carbonation to equal what you buy commercially. I actually bought a second kit because I have been producing so much Kombucha and giving it to friends, though since you'll be knee deep in Scobys after a few months that I really only needed the original purchase."
"This is a very cool, very simple, kit to make Kombucha. Then when its at the right PH or to taste, Run it through a coffee paper strainer, into a different jar, add ginger or blackberries, or jam you don't like and let it rest for 3 or 4 days and it turns effervescent."
"I am thrilled with this kit and am even more thrilled to stop paying $3.50 for one bottle of kombucha at the store. If you are tired of paying a lot for store bought kombucha, this kit is the one you want."
"UPDATE: First batch completed, ginger flavored, nice and tangy. food storage container to a 7 gallon FastFerment system, and am looking forward to the increased yield, although i did have to use an entire gallon batch of kombucha as starter tea.. and the first batch is nearly gone already."
"Although one could most assuredly start brewing Kombucha without a kit, this kit made it super easy to get a batch started."

"The kit has everything you need to get started but I would highly recommend checking out the Kombucha Shop's website (http://www.thekombuchashop.com) for more instruction, tips, and ideas for making a great, flavorful kombucha. Here are a few products I've found to be helpful when making and serving the kombucha: -OXO Good Grips 3-Inch Mini Strainer: This is great for filtering out the fruit and particles when serving your kombucha following the secondary fermentation. -Calphalon Nylon Ladle Utensil: I use this for transferring the kombucha from the big gallon jar to the flip top bottles that I use for the secondary fermentation (see below) and this works great because it has notches on either side for more precise pouring of liquids."
"Keep the box the kit comes in for your bottles during 2nd ferment as well, it makes it easier for storing in a "warm, dark place" for several days."
"The company has been more than helpful and will answer any questions you have if you shot them an email from their website."
"Package arrived quickly; the glass jar and bottles were well packed (no broken bits)."
"It was still a little too sweet, so I will just wait a few more days before bottling next time."
"I'd been wanting to make my own kombucha for over a year but always felt too intimidated by the process."
"We followed all instructions to a T. Not understanding why we have mold but this is ridiculous for almost $50."
