Good to hear from you

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but will this pump work with plastic carboys?

There is an adapter that you will need to go into plastic

I asked a question on the website about some AIO pump accessories I was looking to buy, only to receive a call from Steve like so many others in this thread have already mentioned. After taking a minute to understand my (currently small) setup, he talked me out of making the purchase! But the conversation didn't end there, he spent a few more minutes discussing some general tips and tricks which should remove some of the headaches of shuffling around and cleaning carboys.
The fact that he didn't worry about making a sale and was more concerned about giving good advice -on top of the exceptional quality of his products- leaves no doubt in my mind that I'll be back for more as I scale up in the future.

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve really enjoyed dealing with Steve. He’s straight up honest and extremely helpful.

Regarding Steve, I had the opportunity to meet him in person and I was very impressed.
I was in the process to build a bottle filler and found an article Steve wrote about the subject and needed some help. Steve answered right away and since I live in the same area, he offered to stop by. He was very helpful and graciously shared with me some of his experience in wine making. When I purchased some carboys and bottles from his online store, he delivered them to me personally.
In all, Steve is a great guy.

I just got off the phone with Steve and he made sure that I got everything that I needed. What a nice guy, gave me some great tips as well.

I ordered my pump shortly after the phone call, looking forward to using it!

I also want to chime in on the AIO pump (and Steve's amazing customer service)... I found out about the pump on this forum and purchased one from Steve last week, after we had a few conversations regarding my different barrel sizes. I used it over the weekend to rack a few carboys and it works great. Looking forward to using it for bottling. Another very satisfied customer.

I tried deleting just one of these posts -
It appears there is no option to do it ?

Thanks to this thread, I too discovered the AIO pump and Steve's great service. Got the system a couple of days after I ordered it, unpacked the excellent packing, set it up to rack/degas, tested it with water as recommended, racked 5 individual gallons of wine without a hitch - easy peasy. Looking forward to bottling with it.

Also got one of Steve's Headspace Eliminators - very clever. Had to order 4 more.

This made life so easy, I bought 2 more 5 gallon carboys. I am now officially hooked on making wine.

Thanks for the great service Steve!

If you’re on the fence in purchasing this or not, here’s my review. About three years ago I started winemaking and all the forums kept saying “buy, you won’t regret it”. I did buy very early on into my winemaking and have been using it for about 2.5 years without one regret. Usually the regret is “I should’ve bought it years ago”. I’m certainly glad I don’t need to say that. I love not lifting carboys and this was the best investment. The best part is the customer service. I’m pretty sure Steve calls me before I even push send in my email! He takes the time to walk you through everything... even years after the sale. Thank you Steve for all your help and calling me back so quickly!

I absolutely agree. I used mine today to rack four batches of wine off primary and into carboys. Degassing is simplified when racking in a vacuum. These were all cheap kits, Island Mist varieties intended for summer afternoons on the deck. The AIO wine pump is my favorite piece of equipment in my wine making equipment inventory. It is a quality piece of equipment, and Steve provides incredible support if needed.

Received my AIO pump from Steve last week and racked my first 5 gallons of "Skitter Pee". There sure was a lot of degassing bubbles coming up and very surprised that it was completely clear by the next morning.

I am glad you are enjoying your pump purchase !
Degassing made easier by just a simple racking using the Allinonewinepump -

I didn't realize how hard I worked on racking and bottling until my son gave me the AI1 wine pump for Mothers Day. Wow! I bottled and didn't waste a drop. Set up and clean up was much faster. Throw away your old gravity siphon things. Thanks Steve

I think I already know the answer, but wanted to see if anyone else is doing this. Just performed Ph, So2 added some finishing tannins to a year old red in carboy. Going to let it set for a month or two before bottling. Volume is a little lower that I like (headspace), so I put the headspace eliminator on. What do you think about leaving it like this or would you top it off with venting bung?
just curious

 

[cmason1957]

Headspace eliminators are great and all and if there isn't much extra headspace, I don't worry about the time I have it on. But if it is say three bottles low (and that's a technical measurement) I would top up. Even with the Headspace Eliminator, there is still oxygen in your headspace, just not as much.

I personally had an Amarone wine from the Fall that was between 3-4 bottles short in a 6 gallon carboy - which I kept a headspace eliminator on the entire time. I just bottled it last week and it was perfect ! I did flood the additional headspace with some additional CO2 prior to pulling a vacuum.

I'm asking because I don't know. But if you flood the headspace with a gas, then apply the vacuum, aren't you just sucking out the gas you just put in? Thanks in advance for the input - I'm thinking this might not work the way I thought.
