Let me preface this by claiming that I'm pretty new to wine making. I've only made about 8 kits now (in a four or five month span).
I degassed my first kit the old fashioned way. With a spoon. It was awful enough to make me purchase the fizz-x ,which made things a little less labor intensive for the next few kits. I then stumbled on a thread on this forum about a device called the gasgetter. It aroused my curiosity enough to make purchase the device ($90 for a 1-4 carboy device).
Let me tell you, it works absolutely incredible. Not to mention it makes degassing a breeze. Just set the bung (4 or more are included) on the carboy and let it go to work for 20-25 minutes. It creates a vacuum and it starts bubbling like mad. You will need an air compressor for this device to work. You also need to give it a ‘shake’ every so often. Other than that everything is included.
Maybe I’m crazy, but the clearing process seems to happen very quicky after using the gasgetter. The wine seems to taste much smoother (based on tasting the wine before and after the process) when compared to using the drill mounted stirring rod.
The owner, Rhone, is an incredibly nice guy too. He's really proud of this device and stands behind it 100%. I must of talked to him for 30 minutes or more when I called to order it. You can find youtube videos of this device in action, along with various videos.
As mentioned, I am an amateur and have much to learn. But so far I have been very satisfied with this product. I just thought I’d mention it.</A>
