Wine Making at CRUSHPAD: Fermentation Punch Downs

[EvilGio]

Don't you have oxidations problems with this "manual" punch down?

@EvilGio Oxidation is much more dangerous on post fermentation stages. During fermentation, especially at starting stage aeration is desirable to boost yeast expansion. CO2 forms a buffer between fermenting surface and deny oxygen access. But since fermentation is finished access to oxygen (aeration) must be strictly denied, unless there is special need for wine aeration (Hydrogen sulphide smell = smell of rotten eggs).
