Default Degassing

A buddy and I have been making wine for quite a while, and while the results
have been acceptable, better would be fine. One place where we may fall down
is the degassing. We bought a wand that fits in a drill and the ends flare
out when the drill is turned on. Initially we did this at slow speed but
perhaps lately got a little carried away. The last couple have foamed rather
violently. Should we discontinue its use, use it only at slow speed, or just
give up on it and use the spoon. Is just hard to tell when the wine has been
completely degassed. We have noticed a tingle on the tongue in some bottles,
but not all. Is that incomplete degassing?

Thanks in advance

RB
