Hi guys - could really do with some help here.
Just at the stage where I need to rack my first 2 wines brewed in a DJ.
I've tried shaking with hand over the top, and got very splattered so don't want to continue down that route any further...
So now I'm on the spoon - seems to be taking ages though - am I doing it right? I swirl the handle of a long spoon around the bottom of the DJ until all the froth is going in one direction, then I change the swirl direction, which seems to loosen the CO2.
Seems to be a bit of a big job though.
Any tips for me to do this better without getting a wine whip? I really don't fancy getting my drill out - it's filthy for one and can't have none of that in my brew :sick:
If I'm doing it ok that's good too, would just be good to have some pointers and know that I am not introducing O2 rather than releasing CO2 lol.
