An Ingenious Way To Degas Your Wine

[shrklvr94]

About potassium sorbet it does not stop fermentation it keeps it from starting

If you have potassium sorbet in your juice make sure to put food in your juice

and all you have to do is make a Yeast starter bench And add it to your juice

With the same type juice let it go as two days

To be honest, the reduced pressure section at the top does not suck the gas out. You are reducing the pressure of the fluid in the container, and this brings the fluid to the gas bubble point, causing it to break out of solution.

Great vid. Would you like to buy my long spoons?

[valdezmiguel2]

are you by any chance autistic and or suffering some type of developmental disability?

you remove gas at a reduced pressure, and then gas re-dissolves in the wine at regular pressure. that is why you are "surprised how much gas is really in there". It is like being surprised how much semen is in your mouth, as you mindlessly drown in your gay-ass bukkake.

[MikaShelley99]

@valdezmiguel2 When you're being that rude, try and be right. There is no CO2 around to redissolve in the wine at normal pressure.

[burkean]

You say you have degassed that batch of wine several times and keep getting more bubbles. I think the conclusion is that you need to pump a lot more than 40 (or 400) times to get rid of all the carbon dioxide.

do u need to degas apple wine?

[HerrCaZini]

@moody2851 yes ;)

[helicrashpro]

You can get a hand vacuum pump at a auto part store as well.

[SuperCHOPPERBOB]

@helicrashpro , and many cycle shops

[vincem78]

good job

[siafhir]

Thanks for the great video. I found a small local shop that sells the Snail Wine Pump.  CDN$10 at Grape & Grain in Winnipeg (plus ~$2 for the bung). I'll put the Seal-a-Meal vacuum sealer with accessory hose back on Kijiji. :P

This is GREAT. I just spent an hour stirring with a plastic spoon and was thrilled to discover this. Note: if you have a wine saver pump, it will fit into the top of the airlock, so you may not have to buy any new equipment at all.

[chrisnotap]

Nice video. Cool idea. At the end when you release the valve, it is not pressure escaping, you are allowing air in from the small amount of vacuum still left from the degassing. Keep up the good tips.

[AllWineMaking]

You are correct about the sound. :)

Thanks for the comment Chris!

[paul8bee]

Thank you for this video. I just made my first batch of wine and it was just grossly full of co2. I did not realize how important it is to degas wine.

[mcgehee1980]

I think when you pull the tab it is allowing air into the bottle not letting gas out.

[AllWineMaking]

You are correct. :)

[RantVideos]

where do you get the glass jugs? Plastic is reportedly poiswning us. and it is used to hold everytthing these days.

[AllWineMaking]

You can get the glass carboys at most wine making supply stores.

[will3482]

@RantVideos Nothing is wrong with food grade plastic.

[hairyguyil]

How much vacuum is too much? You realize, of course, that should the vacuum be great enough, the wine would actually boil even though the wine is at room temperature. What boils off first? The alcohol! Have you considered that you might be losing alcohol as well as CO2 using this vacuum process?

[ejcdke]

The pressure would have to reach about 200mb for the wine to boil at room temperature. Those hand pumps are not built for such pressure and would break down before the vacuum could cause a boil.

skip to 5:20 for those watching for the first time

[jimfox554]

Which wine vacuum system are you using? The one's I found don't have attachments big enough for a bung to fit in.

[AllWineMaking]

Most kits say to top up to within an inch or two of the bottom of the bung, which is what I did. :)

[CraigTube]

Why is your carboy so full? My levels are generally just a little above where the carboy starts to narrow. My kits say NOT to top up. I rack right down to the sediment, so I'm not losing much there. Do you top up? If so, why? Doesn't it dilute your wine? Thanks and cheers.

[matoy77]

Great advice mate, ill definetly use this method.

[MountainDeW06]

So I am making sugar wine in a plastic bottle , how can i utilize this method?

[gnomike2]

Thanks for sharing this great idea!

One teeny tiny really picky point, though, is that the sound of rushing gas you hear when you pull the stopper tabs is not CO2 gas escaping, but air rushing IN to the bottle... after all, you've created a vacuum with the pump, and the air rushes in to equalize the pressure. (i know, i know... shut up! lol)

Thanks again for the good, clear video xD

[AllWineMaking]

Ah yes. Very valid point!

Thank you for your comment. :)

[CraigTube]

My argument to this is to let the gas fill the air space until it is equal to pressure outside the carboy (when no more bubbles are rising out of the wine). Then there will not be a rush of air into the carboy.

[vallo3838]

good video.Iusually use the drill process

it works well and i have made a lot of home made wine.From one winemaker to another.Vallo.

[AllWineMaking]

Thanks!

[AllWineMaking]

Thanks for the comment. Certainly appreciated. :)

[repy66]

very informative, easy to understand and good reason. Great intructional.

thanks
