Should be bottling the niagra mist kit bit has so much co2 in it! I've attempted to de gas over tue last 3 days but am worried I am going to lose the batch! I've filtered it because it was really cloudy but still loads of co2! Any suggestions!

Yooper - you ever tried a hand vacuum pump, clean shop vac, or something similar to degas the wine? I was thinking it could help here. They look interesting but suspicious (if something looks too good to be true ...), so I haven't tried anything but "stirring vigorously."

Any suggestions on size/power for the pump? I have these visions stuck in my head of a carboy imploding. I also have my old food saver - I could hook that up to a carboy cap and see how it works.
Yooper - good call on heating it up - I should pick up a wine whip next time I'm at the LHBS (local home brew store for those readers unfamiliar with beer terminology).
