Wade,
i am thinking or ordering one of those brake bleeders.
Question: I currently have 2 carboys holding wine in them for 4
months now. I will be bottling them soon. I still
have to add an addition 1/4 tsp K-meta.
What procedure should I follow. Here's my guess, please correct or revise.
Degass the carboy using the mighty vac. (I already degassed with
a mix-stir 4 months ago, but I am sure there is still residual gas).
then, add my k-meta solution to my bottling bucket and rack wine from carboy to bottling bucket.
Should I degass again? If so, is it done in the bottling bucket? If not, I assume I would just bottle from there.
OR, should I add the k-meta solution directly to the carboy and stir it
in using the short end of my long plastic spoon. Then after it is
stirred in, degass the wine with the mighty vac? Doing it this
way would have me concerned about overflowing the carboy b/c the wine
is currently about an inch or two from the bung.
