I have seen this mentioned numerous times but I have a couple questions.
I have a blackberry wine with some lingering sulfur smell. This will be its second racking. I don't have a wand degasser.
So I am assuming that "splash-racking" is siphoning without taking the care to "siphon quietly" and let the gas escape? Questions though...
1) How do you keep the siphon action going when it gets down to the end if there's no suction on the end of the line because you're keeping it above the wine so it splashes?
2) I assume I want to use sulfites in this racking to prevent oxidation?
3) Anything else I need to know to make this work?
TIA.
