What do use to degas in a Better Bottle?
Important Note: Never rock or swirl Better-Bottle carboys without using a tennis ball. Doing so will cause the edges of the bottom of the carboy to flex under great stress repeatedly and eventually cause cracks, like bending a paper clip back and forth.
CampFireWine, 'splain me lucy what you're doing with that setup?
Campfire, that is so cool, thanks for posting it!!!!
remember, when you degass using a drill mounted stirrer, you're only doing short bursts.
I am finding the best technique is to get it moving in one direction first, so you get a nice swirl in the carboy, then put it in reverse on hi-speed and give it a 2 second burst. Volcano ensues.
Repeat.
There's no reason the stirrer should ever need to come close to the sides, or touch the very bottom. I insert it, find the bottom, pull back a few inches, and let 'er rip!
These are great for mixing juice into the water for concentrated kits, as well as mixing extract homebrew with top-off water for a solid OG reading.
