Anyone know of a good barrel racking / filling wand with pump (for vat to barrel transfers)? Where to buy it?

hey steve.
if you are just looking for a long racking/syphon tube, you can get anywhere.
just add a spring loaded bottling wand to the end and your done.

Yeah looking at transferring from a steel fermentor to oak barrel.
Here are those links about the transfer pump

Cool, thanks for the links.
So if I hooked a barrel topping gun on to a hose hooked up to that pump and turned the lever/knob on the gun to stop the flow, would the pump sense the cessation of outflow and turn off or would I cause a dangerous pressure build up since the must has no where to go?
The pump is Auto shutoff pressure switch reacts to outlet pressure and interrupts power when it reaches the preset shutoff pressure level
see link
Any pumps like this with variable speeds?
This does not have the ability for variable speeds - just pressure and you can find similiar ones that have different flow ratings
I am not sure what other winemakers use professionally ?
Hopefully someone will step in and talk about it
