For degassing you need the degassing tool and not this cap.
What does the degassing tool look like and where can I get it?
its cheaper than a vacumn pump. If you dont use the pump right you can suck the flavor out.
this tool is cheaper.
I really hate to disagree with Tom and the others, but; If you have a vacuum pump, that is the right cap. Use it to vacuum rack and to vacuum degas. Sorry again Tom but this is the first that I heard of vacuuming out flavor. My degassing tool is covered with dust. If you do not have a vacuum pump, get the tool.
There is a filtering setup that uses that carboy cap. An aquarium type pump is used to push air into one nozzle and the wine is pushed out the other, and through the filter pads.

Come to next meeting and you will see how you can suck out the flavor.I really hate to disagree with Tom and the others, but; If you have a vacuum pump, that is the right cap.

Read the first couple of posts again! This is the correct cap for filtering and racking. For degassing only it is not the correct cap. It is used on the receiving tank.
