Hi Richard, the answer is yes it can. You can get all of the parts and instructions you need to do so from vacuumpumpman who is a member of the forum. I suggest you PM him with any questions or requirements. Essentially, you will need a long transfer tube that reaches to the bottom of the donating carboy, tubing to connect that to one side of a two hole stopper on top of the receiving carboy and tubing to run from the second hole in that stopper to the vacuum bottle that comes with your aspirator. That is the set up I have but I replaced the plastic container on the aspirator with a Buechner flask.

Good luck.

cheers and happy transferring

I did it with a Schuco aspirator pump.

Get the Wine Bottling Setup, and the Wine Splash Racking Cane. You may also need to add some hose to connect the racking cane to the splash racking cane. Steve will tell you if it is not part of the Wine Bottling Setup.

All you need to add is a standard racking cane to suck it out of your carboy.

The Wine Bottling Setup may seem expensive, but it comes with an expensive brass valve. Very helpful.

You need to tell Steve the tubing size coming off your aspirator, and he will customize the tubing for you.

thank you one and all.
vacumpumpman I will PM you as soon as I get home.
i've spent almost 6 out of the last 7 months in the hospital,
they took my right leg below the knee. cut into my vertebra to get the infection out of my spine, and cut my throat and put in a trek tub..
but I should be back home in a week or so,
I looked at your web page (vacumpump man) so when we get together I'd just as soon buy what I need from you, I got 38 gallons at 1 year of bulk ageing in glass carboys ,
and using a racking cane is to long on time,
14 gallon blackberry
9 gallon apple/pear/crab apple blend 48%-48%-4% if you like white grapefruit juice then that one is killer
8 gallon elderberry
7 gallon strawberry,
all hand picked by me before I became ill
thank all of ya'll
