I was surprised to see a recommendation for degassing mead on days 1, 3 5, 7, and 8: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/improve-mead-staggered-nutrient-additions/
Elsewhere, I've seen some people recommend degassing every day. Others even recommend doing it every 12 hours.
Does it really matter? I mean, won't the mead must pretty quickly become re-carbonated anyway?
Assuming the answer is that it is important, how strong of a vacuum should one apply? This vacuum pump looks like it would do the business pretty well:

But how much vacuum is too much?
