Vacuum Racking

[Wayne Freeman]

Just an observation - I use the AIO vacuum rig for bottling. Which works great. The only slight downside to vacuum bottling is that my basement winery gets foggy within minutes. Not kidding! When I'm bottling, you can see a foggy haze in air inside the winery. I feel like if I do more than a few dozen bottles at a time it might start to rain in there!

I'm really curious about that. The AIO works by pulling air out of the bottles you're filling (thus creating the vacuum). Are your bottles very warm and moist inside, like from just having been sterilized in boiling water, and your winery air very chilly? That's about the only scenario I can think of that would cause fog.

Are you using the allinonewinepump ?

Well, I am not @RonObvious , but it would appear so.
