I love this guy lol.. Thank you for keeping a complicated process very simple

This a cool video, I've not seen degassing done with a drill before. I like the way the foam looks. I don't degass myself, I do it the old fashioned way. Time. I ferment until all of the sugar is gone. Then I wait a couple of months, until the wine is as clear as glass. That means there is no longer any gases present in the wine keeping the sediment in suspension. If it is a dark wine, I shine a torch through it. If I can clearly see the bulb clearly it's done. I hope you don't mind me sharing the way I do it. I really like your videos, you are so good explaining everything clearly:)

Have you tried vacuum degassing? An easy vac pump can be made from a bicycle tire pump(just reverse the cup on end of rod turn check valve around). Seen it done with a shop vac too.

Thanks for this video - it's really helpful to see all the different ways people do this. I've seen people using spoons, but I like this method. Seems easy enough to sanitize the wand before every use. I think I'll give this a shot.

I agree with the idea of keeping the oxygen out buy degassing in the carboy, I degas as soon as the carboy get to about half full and stopping the fluid transfer at three quarters while continuing the degassing. Then top off until the next re-racking . Hope I’m not messing up my wine .

They are so handy for sure. I am lazy so I just let my Mead age out. Never need to do this if you want 3 to 4 months to bottle. Want to do a 1 month mead or carbonating naturally I use it. In Canada these are too much money so on a real cheap budget use a coat hanger bent, almost as good and maybe even free :-)

Hi Charles, Just started w my first muscadine/concord grape blend. Had no probs with primary and secondary fermenting to get 0.99, thanks to you. I added more juice to backsweeten, racked a few times to de-lees, (I've watched tons of your videos lol), now I'm reading about 1.010 and like the semi-sweet taste. I have been degassing and it is taking forever! multiple rounds and rest and still tons of bubbles and carbonation upon shake/taste testing. Any suggestions? Should I rock the airlock, rinse and repeat... hmmm -- Thank you!

Heat it up for to like 125degrees or so and keep it at that temp for 1 minutes to 3 minutes or so. Don't go above like 130ish it will evaporate the ETOH. google search this to get the times and Temps correct.

Perhaps tjhis might be an issue with wide-mouth buckets, but not so with carboys due to the small opening which is usually covered up by your hand to steady the whip.

@@DIYFermentation thank you for your reply. I honestly feel a vacuvin is arguably cheaper and simpler than the drill method for carboys. Though some people are worried about implosions / pressure issues. I’ve never seen a wine saver break a car boy though 🧐

Thank you for you comment. I should point out that this is not a pro winemaking channel. Her we do not make wine under winery conditions.

@joshturner4741 2 жыл бұрын

Pro wine makers dont degass this way because they do through pumps to remove the possibility and contaminating by oxidation and degassing is an extra benefit....so yes the pros do degass wine.

Contact with oxygen spoils the wine and you get vinegar. I wouldn't recommend this.

@DIYFermentation 3 жыл бұрын

CO2 being heavier than oxygen displaces the oxygen in the carboy. This is a tried and true technique used by many winemakers. Of the 50+ winemaking videos that I've done to date, I have yet to turn wine into vinegar. Just do a KZfaq search on degassing wine and note the over whelming number of channels/videos there are.
