A few days ago we purchased a Vacu Vin.
Now this great little gadget with its one way valve stopper and vacuum pump works wonders getting the pressure out of a half full bottle of wine.
I don't want any one to think I am saying anything bad about this for what is its purpose.
Unfortunately this was not the purpose for our purchase.
I got tired of drill degassing and thought if I could create a Vacuum things would work much better... good thought hu?
well you see today both my right & left arms feel like I have been training for Olympic weight lifting lol
I spent a half hour pumping on this before I realized that I was not getting a good seal from the carboy cap... so I wrapped plastic wrap around it to make a seal and after another hour of pumping I had to give up because my arms were going to give out lol ....
To top it off I don't think the wine is degassed yet lol ... back to the drill I guess...
THIS IS A HEADS UP TO THOSE FOLKS WITH THE SAME IDEA
VACU VIN
