at the start bob put you can leave it for 12 months or so and it will de gass itself. can i leave wine no.1 in a big bin for 12 months or is it not meant to be left that long. can you get big whizz sticks for 5 gal buckets. thanks for the help so farComment

When you say 'big bin' are we talking about a bucket-type fermenter or something with a narrow neck which you can top up to remove all but the smallest bit of air (e.g. a 5 gal carbuoy or a big Better Bottle)?
If the former, definitely not. There would be far too much headspace. If the latter, yes, but Wine no.1 is designed to be an early-drinker.
Whizz Sticks will work fine in 5 gal fermenters. They are fine for 1 gal DJs, but I would transfer a litre or so into another container to stop it foaming out of the top.
EDIT: I doubt that it would degas itself in only a year.Pete the Instructor

erm, rather than leave it under airlock, wouldn't it be better to de-gas it with your enolmatic Bob and then just use a bung ?
If nothing else you wouldn't have to keep checking the airlock every couple of months to make sure it hasn't dried out.........
