Hooked up a vacuum pump to a bung and brought the vacuum up to 20". Seems to be a lot of gas bubbling out of the wine. Anyone else try this method or have any input? Besides carboy implosion if vacuum brought up too high.

It will take the gas out but it will also remove a lot of volitiles that you do not necessarily want to remove. But then if you are in a hurry...

I seem to remember the same thing being said of those rubber stoppers for left over wine, the ones with one way "valves" on them where you have a little hand pump to remove the air. They to were said to remove the volatiles as well.
