Get the Gas out!
August, 2007 Filed in: Wine making
You stir and stir your wine to get the gas out of your wine at the Stabilizing stage to the point you feel your arm will drop off and yet their seems to be some gas also known as Carbon dioxide left.
Well here is a solution!
Try a Vacuum pump! This device is used to remove the air from a bottle of wine once it is opened to preserve it after 1 or 2 glasses of wine has been removed. This can also be extended to your carboy. Attach the Vacuum pump to your carboy utilizing a plastic tube (broken siphon rod or bottle filler) and running that tube through a #7 bored rubber bung. By pumping the air out of your carboy you will be amazed about the amount of Carbon dioxide that bubbles to the surface. Note this does not replace a vigorous stirring of your wine at the Stabilizing stage; rather it is an additional tool to remove more Carbon dioxide from your carboy. If you are looking for an excellent Christmas stocking stuffer pick up a Vacuum pump,
