does anyone know whether or not there is a detriment to pumping wine
rather than siphoning it? i'm moving wine between 200L tanks during racking, and the pump i'm using is 3/4HP with 3/4" fittings and tube - it will pump 200L of wine in about 5 minutes. For the reds this year, i was very careful on the second and third rackings to ensure the tube outlet was at the bottom of tank, hence preventing undue oxidation. I'm also ensuring a 6" blanket of argon is sparged into the receiving tank before i pump. I'll be doing white wine next, but am concerned the force of the pump might be damaging to the effort. thanks in advance for your help. Darin Young, Vancouver BC |
