I made a perfectly good vacuum pump system using a powerful vacuum pump that is connected to a carboy fitted with a dual hole bung. The second carboy with the wine in it has a tube going through a bottle for overspill and when switched on the carboy with the wine is transferred into the vacuumed carboy in a pretty quick time.
It mirrors the vacuum pump u tube using a purpose built expensive set up. There are no seals or bungs leaking and after 10 passes, the wine is still not degassed. I used the sheet rack principle where the incoming wine goes down the side of the carboy.
Everything is as it should be but alas, its not degasing the wine. All the wine being transferred into a vacuumed carboy so no contact with the air and its foaming up like a good un.
What the hell has gone wrong.
