The Young's 23 Litre Degasser is a drill-mounted paddle for knocking dissolved CO2 out of wine before you fine, stabilise and bottle. It is sized for standard 23 litre wine kits.

Why degas?

CO2 left in wine after fermentation stops finings from working properly, gives a prickly mouthfeel and can make bottles overflow when opened. The degasser agitates the wine so the gas escapes quickly and thoroughly - far faster than stirring by hand.

Key features

  • Fits a standard electric drill
  • Designed for 23 litre batches
  • Also useful for degassing beer samples if needed

How to use

  1. Sanitise the degasser before use.
  2. Fit it in your drill and lower it into the wine.
  3. Spin for 2-3 minutes in each direction, starting slowly to avoid foaming over.
  4. Add finings and stabiliser as your kit instructions say.

Ideal for anyone making 30-bottle wine kits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my drill?

It is made to fit a standard electric drill chuck.

How long should I degas for?

Spin the degasser for 2-3 minutes in each direction. Start slowly so the wine does not foam over.

When should I degas my wine?

Once fermentation has finished and before you add finings and stabiliser, as dissolved CO2 stops finings from working properly.

Can I use it in a glass demijohn?

It is sized for 23 litre wine batches in a bucket or fermenter, so it is best suited to those rather than a narrow-necked 5 litre demijohn.
