I tried this for the first time this weekend. Utilized a small pump I had and adjusted the vacuum for 22 " hg. I got fairly good results initially. My Merlot had been in the secondary for about five weeks and it took about 3 minutes for the bubbles to reside.
I then added the normal clarifiers and perservatives, stirred and degassed again as the kit instructed. This time the bubbles just kept coming. After about ten minutes I called it quits and assumed the activity was some sort of result from the additives.
Is this a normal observance?
How long do you guys degass with vacuum?
