my db is in my secondary (glass carboy) at room temp. i can see it's starting to clear after 3 days but i'm concerned that when i degassed using fermtech wine whip, i may have added oxygen rather than degassing. i didn't realize you should SLOWLY whip and so went to town with the electric drill. in doing so, the bung dropped some rubber down into my db. not happy with myself on that but i think (if i remember) to use a nylon net on the end of my siphon, i will bypass those little buggers.
question is, why the big focus on degassing? is it to eliminate bottle bombs or eliminate carbonation in the final product? personally i would like a little carbonation. i was really wanting to make a slighlty carbonated hard strawberry lemonade but settled for what i consider to be a strawberry lemon wine.
thanks in advance
