hint to make sediment fall to the bottom.

I appreciate the article on oxidation. It said, however, to not trickle white wines when racking. They said splashing invites much more oxygen into wine then simple airlock removal. i degas using a wand in a drill motor. Lots of splashing. Also i start to allow my So2 to drop as I age. If we go off pH a lot of So2 most of the time is not needed. So since I let this number drop to end up in a more desired range I dont want it dropping too much by bonding to unneeded oxygen. I thank you again for taking the time to reference the article for me. I love learning more. How do you degas?
