Two types of bubbling occur.....first is small bubbles which is the carbon dioxide, then the larger bubbles (what I noticed in this video) which is the carbon sulfide. This technique is far superior than using a whipping wand. A bicycle tire pump can easily be converted to a vacuum pump for this purpose. There are a few YT videos demonstrating how to convert.
This video seems to have garnered more attention than I ever anticipated. Originally I was just using it to show one specific thing to my friends, but next time I de-gas I'll record a more instructional video.
I do appreciate the input. If I start up my operation again I'll post more info about the rig I built to do this. I had no idea this video would net the views it has, and for the lack of detail, I apologize. In the meantime, if you have specific questions I'd be happy answer them.
It seems to me that the very real possibility of a catastrophic implosion is not worth the risk. Afterall, carboys are Not pressure vessels. To be blunt...A Real Stupid Idea!
George S I just recorded this to show some friends locally. No other intent. However if you are curious and not rude then I’d be happy to answer any other questions that you may have.
It's an air compressor with a venturi I found on Ebay. I think it was originally used in a factory for picking up slabs of plastic or glass, but I am just guessing. Mfg is Vaccon, model is JS-90M.

IT SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO SEE MORE THAN BUBBLES, why not show the important things like the valves and gauges and ETC

This is it ? I can appreciate what is happening, but most viewers will not. No pressures or equipment shown . You can make this more informative.

Truly, you are a gift to the wine making community.
is this supposed to be instructive in some way??? Fail

Are you using an air compressor with a venturi to produce suction, or just a vacuum pump?
