Question: what is the different between adding oxygen before fermention and degassing or are they the same thing? It I am putting oxygen in, is that forcing the Co2 out?
I never degas my meads. I guess it's because they've been around for a while, and the co2 has long disipated out through the airlock. I rack them occasionally when they need it, and top up. If your mead is gassy, there would be a big benefit to degassing it before bottling. If not, there wouldn't be a reason to degas.Thanks for the clarification, Mosyslack. Been trying to understand the concept of degassing. I guess I will try degassing my next batch and see if I think it makes much difference.
