Degassing

[Casper]

I am making my first blackberry winefrom the berries a pick up this summer, do I need to degas the wine like I use to do with wine kit? If yes when?





Here is a picture, 5 days after fermenting

Yes Casper, you will need to degass. It should be done at the time your wine is stabilized.

Thanks Waldo

I is a beautiful color!Onceour yeastsare done working, wego to it. I think sooner is better than later for this. Then it's done when you're working to clear your wines and you're not stirring up your lees.

Very interesting. I've always degassed after it's clear and that's the last thing to do on my winemaking list. I always don't want to whip the sediment around.


Thanks for the tip!


And yes, a beautiful color! Way to go!
