I use a wine whip and my drill- but I have seen many other wine makers use a mity vac (that you'd use for bleeding brakes). That works great, if you happen to have one on hand. I'm not one to work on my car at all, so I don't have one.
When vacuum degassing, does anyone monitor the pressure? It's highly likely that you could pull a hard enough vacuum to boil off the ethanol at room temperature.
So at 20 mm HG I am a long way off. I am not a science guy so I don't know if their answer was correct and I am not going to try it.At 68F, ethanol will boil at 44 mm Hg. Ethanol has a higher vapor pressure than water so at the same temperature it will boil at a higher pressure.
