although I am not new to winemaking, I have a de-gassing question.
I often read in posts that many de-gas the wine at the first racking, sometimes the second.
I de-gas only when I am almost ready to bottle. after my wine has cleared totally (usually around six to eight months, but may be sooner or later)
I do a final rack, then degas let sit for a few weeks then bottle.
Am I doing this too late? will I clear faster if I de-gas earlier?
thanks for the input.
