I read this before, but forget where I saw it and my searches have failed...I either get every post on bubbles in airlocks...or degassing threads about how great vacuum pumps are... I know how good they are but I am in Canada where I would pay x2 for a mityvac type pump and on and on a budget so a real pump is not an option
What is the difference in the bubble sizes when degassing wine.
I think the smaller bubbles are CO2 that cause the wine to be fizzy...yes/no?
So what are the larger bubbles that seem to never go away? I always thought they were air was stirring into the wine when I used my drill setup, but with a vacuvin test I am doing, I seem to get mostly larger bubbles and it doesn't seem like it is working (no small bubbles) even though I have pumped until it 'clicked' (and then some more) many times.
Cheers
