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