Quad Berry DB - very gassy, may have small problem

[Tripplett]

Update.
Yesterday I purchased a Mityvac hand pump from AutoZone and started pumping away. I got crazy CO2 bubbles off at 22 in Hg for about half the day. At about 9pm, I was getting less and less bubbles at 22 and even 23. The pressure was holding at 20 with no activity. After about an hour with no bubbles I think I successfully degassed the DB.

Added my sparklloid and will wait to clear.

That's the same one I purchased, it comes with some great adapters. You'll give your hands quite a workout. I'm already trying to work out how to convince the wife I need an AllInOne, a filter, and at least one glass carboy

My first batch was very hard to degas. The second batch I made required minimal effort to degas. The biggest difference that I can see is that I waited to transfer to the carboy. I noticed that by waiting three additional days all of the "fizzing" had stopped. Perhaps waiting a few extra days at 75f allowed for some natural degassing in the primary. I also question the calibration on my hydrometer. When primary fermentation is done I'm consistently getting readings of .990. My guess is, for me, 0.997 ain't quite dun yet!
