Wow..........sure don't want to explode a glass carboy
what a mess that would be
I would think it would need to get pretty hot though to crack one
Thanks for the feedback/warning

I hate to keep beating a dead horse here but I’m still a bit confused.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I'm having a similar problem with my WE Gewurztraminer as JB is having
with the <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns =...
Thanks Masta,
I did stir like crazy for the first degassing though but maybe my temp was to low and I didn't get all the gas out.
Is it okay to stir up the sediment to degas again now?
I just read JB's post and seems like the same thing.
No drill mounted stirrer but I use a long wooden dowell that works good. I don't seem to have any action out of my air lock at all and no bubbles on the side of the carboy.....if I still had CO2 wouldn't I have signs ???

I started a WE Selection International Gewurztraminer on 1/24/07.
Starting was SG of 1.085 @ 70 deg.
Racked on day 7, 1/31/07 SG was 1.006. Temp was alittle low @ 67 deg.
On day 15, 2/8 SG was .988 added Kmeta and sorbate. Stirred vigorusly as instructions to drive off CO2. Added F pack SG...
Stirring sounds like it would be benificialand help to give it a bit more air, especially at the beginning of fermentation ..... I've got a Green Apple Riesling in the works so I think I'll give it a gentle stir
Thanks all

Hi Wolfman, never been to Delaware except to drive through it to get to Florida.
Your beach place sounds nice. I think it’s great to have a get away place to go to.

I’ve lived in CT since day one. Except for about one...
Coaster,
I had the same problem with my siphon....I used two hose
clamps to solve the problem. Works great now because no
air leaks into the hose.
