I've been a member here for a while with few posts (mostly reading) and realized that I never introduced myself. I'm Marc from Calgary. :) I used to be in Ontario last summer when we relocated. I started making wine in early 2009 and when we moved in the summer of 2010, I just started to...

I degassed my carboy this weekend using a pump to create a vacuum. That worked well and eventually, all bubbles stopped. I tasted the wine and sure enough, no carbonation. So today, I added Bentogram to help clear up the wine. And as soon as I did... bubbles! But this time, they're much...
