Hi
I'm in the process of putting together a Vacuum Racking/De-gassing/Bottling setup and wondered if anyone else had made their own and could offer any advice. I have a couple of small vacuum pumps and I am sorting a variety of sizes of bungs with two holes in to fit demijohns and carboys.
Does anyone know what the minimum vacuum level is required to draw wine from one 23 litre carboy to another? What is the maximum an empty glass carboy can take before imploding? I've read on the Winepress forum that 1 bar or 28 inches is not a problem but wondered if anyone on here has got any experience of that sort of figure.
Regards
Rob
