How do you transfer wort from the kettle to the fermenter

[Cape Brewing]

pump through a plate chiller... cut the loop to the chiller and then just pump through to whirlpool... and then just open a ball valve and pour off through a short hose into the fermenter.

I use x-large hop bags in all of my boils so all I have in the cone after whirlpooling is break and fine hop sludge.

I pour because I'm not a wuss

I primarily use Ale Pales as fermenters. So, I put the paint strainer bag on the bucket (has elastic to hold it in place) and dump the wort in quickly. It helps aerate and the paint strainer bag removes all of the break material and the hops. So I have nothing but clean wort. It is quick, easy, and makes clean up a breeze.

Gravity through ball valve into glass carboy.

I use a big funnel into a glass carboy. The funnel has a filter on it and I find I can get about 1/4 at a shot before I need to grab a spoon and swirl the sediment around so the wort can pour through and I can clean out the filter.

Its worked well for me so far.

I have been pouring and straining the last few batches.....but I am getting an auto-siphon soon.

I use a hop bag, so when it comes time to move from pot to fermenter I just dump through a funnel into the carboy.

I pick it up and pour it through one of these

like a boss

I pour my cooled wort through the spigot built into the brew kettle. I run it through a mesh strainer, held on to the bucket with elastic. The pouring from the stove to the bucket on the floor aerates it pretty well. But then I dump the wort into another bucket, and then back, and then one more time. I get such aeration, I barely have enough room in by 6.5 gal. carboy for the final pour, (which is done through a funnel), there is so much foam. But with this aeration, I get a good, quick fermenation.

depends on the system Im using. On the 2050 I pump it through a chiller and into the conical which is in my shed about 15 feet away from the rig. On my 5 gallon system I let gravity do its thing and fall through a strainer/funnel combo into a carboy

I now auto siphon after IC and also use hop bag. Previously did partial boils and had no problem pouring into fermenter. Have used hop bag since after my first brew cause pellet hop gunk was PITA. Only thing missing with auto siphon is how to aerate better.

 

[Flomaster]

auto-siphon + gravity with 3 or 4' drop into primary bucket for aeration ??

Auto siphon into a filter bag. Or auto siphon into a pair of knee high panty hose...LOL unused boiled and sanitized of course! It works damn good.

I just make SWMBO buy them cuz I people don't believe me when I say they're to filter my beer. Don't judge me! LOL

I just pour it in, and stop when I hit the volume I wanted or reach all the hops and break material at the bottom. It's really easy to avoid the majority of the trub.

....by using the Force.

These aren't the droids you're looking for... and wort... get in that fermenter!

 

[Homercidal]

I siphon through a counter flow chiller.
A copper scrubbing pad keeps the hops out.

BTW an autosiphon should not be used for hot wort (DAMHIKT),
use a copper or stainless racking cane.

I used to use an autosiphon to run the hot wort through my CFC. I only did it once though!

Normally I use a siphon with a "T" on the end and start it by sucking. Pretty soon I'll have the spigot on my new keggle rigged up.
