Guys my auto syphon has packed it in at last,the outer tube split bad,I have been looking around and cheapest here that is in stock is near 30 euro and that is just too much.I have looked in Uk and on ebay but with shipping it's killer.I need to get one asap so any decent links appreciated. ;D

In the meantime if you fill it with starsan solution the rigid inner tube and flexible tubing work great as a simple syphon.

Touche  :P

HBW are out of stock and the only one HBC have is the jumbo one for 50 litres and above and that is too big and too expensive. I didnt think of MB tbh.Geterbrewed have one but the description is very vague and it is hard ti know if it is the right size or not. ;D

Balls for leaving it so late though in my defence i didn't think the shops would be closing so early. :(
