Looking for Vacuum Bottling Video

[Rickochet]

I saw a video where a guy is bottling wine using a vacuum pump. He has a homemade bottle holder that uses a device that pivots on top to easily remove the stopper with the vacuum lines. I have searched high & low and can not find the video! I thought it was on YouTube, but so far I can not locate it! Do any of you veterans have this video bookmarked or have any other ideas for such a device?? Thanks!

Rick, if you are referring to what I think you are, it was a wooden homemade stand that had an arm that pivoted upward away from the bottle. In the end of the arm was a stopper with two air lines, one to draw the air out and one to draw the wine into the bottle, I suppose. If that is the one, I think it was here on this site but I can't recall the poster or the title of the posting. I would guess it would be under "General Wine Making Discussion" but I am not sure. Maybe someone else will remember or the poster will reply. Sorry I can't help.

I think this is the thread you are looking for. This is the link to the thread you probably want to see all the parts involved.

Rick, to get Biblical on you: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." Matthew 7:7
