Apart from the usual things we use in kit and self made wines, does anyone know of any chemical additives that can be added during degassing. I am sure the degassing issue is a bane for many like myself. I have severe arthritis in my fingers that stop me from using a drill and obviously hours of laborious stirring isn't that optional either. I am also a pensioner on a budget.
For this reason, has anyone come up with any slick ideas that don't alter the taste or cost hundreds of pounds to achieve a smoother degassing option.
I like the idea of the allinonepump as advertised but once the cost is researched, it becomes prohibitive and out of some peoples ranges, especially mine. Surely there is a chemical additive out there that aids and assists degassing without ruining taste and the finished product.
I have seen some clever and innovative ideas on reversing valve pumps to achieve a vacuum alternative on u tube, but non that come with a guidance certificate or help on pressures achieved.
I am sure this question has been visited on numerous occasions and answers have been discussed, so please forgive my nuisance, but has anyone come up with anything new of late, or is it still a case of stir/whip and patience.
