@Logcabincookin OK, so I asked my question JUST before you gave the answer in your video.
-
Regarding the "wine volcano" is this a good way to make it foam and degas or is the volcano a bad thing because it is pulling in air?
-
@WineMakersToyStore I have two one-gallon jugs of mead that are about 4 months old. I'm planning on bottling it at about 6 months. How long should it take to degas itself, and do you just let it sit there with the airlock on it for an extended period of time? I made some apple wine that I bottled at about 4 months and it was still a little bubbly (I had no idea about degassing at the time, but discovered it when I opened a bottle a few weeks later).
I appreciate you sharing your expertise!

check out my video and feel free to give me a few pointers or tips. I just made some wine to I have a video and the recipe on my youtube channel

How funny... I though I invented something by using a product that already existed. I did the exact same thing with a wine saver but I just drilled out a bung and permanently shoved it in there to use that on whatever carboy im ready to degas.... oh well.... great minds think alike..

The volcano is pushing CO2 and oxygen out, as such, it will not pull oxygen in.

As an aside, the reason we are concerned with de-gassing the wine kits is that the manufacturer wants you to bottle in 4-8 weeks, which is normally not enough time. There are 2 reasons for this. One, the manufacturers risk is from the time you start the wine until you bottle it. Second, the faster you bottle, the faster you drink and the faster you will buy another kit. There is some marketing in everyting!

The nice thing about using 1-gallon jugs is that you can just shake them up to de-gas them! Not quite as easy with a 50-60 pound carboy full of wine.
All wines will de-gas themselves over time. The amount of time depends primarily on the temperature. Warmer liquids will release gas faster than cooler liquids. If you store your carboys or jugs in an area where the temperature is above 70 degrees, they should de-gas themselves in 2-3 months.

You can definitely wait for the wine to de-gas itself. The wine kits are made to be bottled before the wine has enough time to de-gas, so this technique is necessary to make sure you don't have a carbonated wine.
