auto-siphon
Pump-free liquid mover
An auto-siphon is a device used in homebrewing to transfer liquid from one container to another without disturbing sediment.
Unlike a basic siphon requiring mouth suction or gravity tricks to start flow, an auto-siphon uses a pump mechanism—typically an inner tube you push down—to initiate suction: I used the auto-siphon to rack the beer into the bottling bucket.
