Hi HoCo Al This is not using the valve Using the valve I have not used the all-in-one pump so I will not say our vacuum pump is stronger than all-in-one, or any other people's vacuum pumps. But I can tell people these: Our wine making vacuum pump has a flow rate of 10 liter / minute, and...

:D I "tasted" all 6 batches

Just bottled 6 batches Did 168 bottles in 1 hour. Fun! fun! fun! :db

I bottled 7 buckets (23 liters, 6 gallon per bucket) and the vacuum pump was only lurk warm... I stopped because I didn't have more to bottle :)

Totally agreed :b

The assembly process is very simple and takes less than 10 minutes. I will make an unboxing and assembly video when I get a chance. I will also convert the manuals into website format and post it online. Closing the degassing inline valve at the beginning ensures that every drop of wine is...

No offense taken ;) We welcome all comments and suggestions. That's what make us better and better. We did get some feedback from our customers asking for a ready to use vacuum station housing. That's why we developed it and the first batch is on its way to us. Cheers,

Sorry that's an old picture of my prototype taken 1 year ago. This is the vacuum station DIY plan. It's for DIYers so it does not look pretty but works. http://www.acewinesupplies.com/documents/diy-building-a-wine-making-vacuum-station AND we have a batch of pre-made vacuum station housing...

Yes the $160 Floor Corker FDR Package comes with everything except the floor corker. This is a list of the compatible floor corkers - www.acewinesupplies.com/documents/filler-corker-connector And you would also need a regular wine bottle (or a jar or carboy) as the overflow container...

The ID "winedegasser" was a personal ID and has been deactivated for more than 18 mouths. We are now an incorporated company and under the ID "diywinemakers". Our product has evolved into a multi-functional FDR system (Filling, Degassing and Racking). Please visit our website...

Great work Putterrr! Very nicely done. I guess that ball valve in your system acts as a switch that turns vacuum on/off?

Exactly as what Putterrr says! A vacuum filling system does not "stop" the flow when the bottle is full. Instead it "redirect" the flow into an overflow container. Both my FDR system and the Enolmatic bottle filler use the same principles. My FDR system can use a wine bottle, a 3 litre jar...

How about an automatic filling system like this? :b https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utVAs4FInPw

$1.35 in November. It is much better now, but not as good as in Winnipeg :)

Lucky you! Here in Nova Scotia is still .94 :(

I made my first vacuum pump for less than $10 years ago using the similar method like this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JksUmIwLLgM It was quite noisy though and you don't want to run it for more than 30 minutes because it will overheat. But it'll be good enough for...

If you already have a vacuum pump. All you need is a two hole rubber stopper like this one ($9): Add a valve like this ($9) you can degas and rack in one step:

NorCal, Watched your video and it is VERY cool. I am impressed! Since you are so good at woodworking. I think you can make switching bottles a little easier by adding a spring-loaded arm, like this one but instead of aluminum alloy you can use wood of course.
