Hi all -
Yet another question for the group!
I am ready to degass, stabilize and clarify a couple of kits. Back years ago I used to rack the wine off the sediment into the primary bucket for this process. I found this way to be easier to degass and stir without getting a wine volcano (although back then I also used to stir by hand). After I incorporate all the clarifiers and get it all stirred up I transfer back to glass.
Do any of you see a problem with this method? I would assume that it would degas just as well in the primary as it would in a carboy (utilizing the mix-stir and a drill). Just curious as to other opinions on this.
Thanks,
Pete
