I have made wine off and on for over 20 years. In the last year I have become more serious with it and trying to perfect it. In the last year, I have had a problem that I have never experienced before. CO2 build up popping corks.
Not sure why all of a sudden I am faced with this issue.
I am about to make a rod de-gasser tool that will fit in my drill. You have likely seen these DIY pictures. I have some really thin oak pieces that I plained down to use for the two wings that actually do the agitating.
My question is; should I seal the oak pieces or just soak them in sterilizing solution before I use the tool?
Does it matter if it is red or white oak, since it will only be used in the wine for 10 minutes?
