Gas Barrel Racking Tool

Transfer wine out of a barrel using inert gas to reduce oxidization with the Gas Transfer Tool.  

Inert gas is passed through the locking collar into the top of the barrel, where the pressure forces the liquid in the barrel up and out of the racking wand. The flow can be slowed or stopped and any time by closing the gas inlet valve. And the barrel's contents are protected during the racking process because the empty space is being filled by inert gas rather than air. 

Open the gas inlet ball valve and start gas introduction slowly. The high end of safe gas pressure in barrels is 15 psi. At 15 psi, a 60 gallon barrel should empty in 3 minutes.This will vary with length and height of run.

The locking collar/gas inlet can be adjusted to any position on the racking wand to accommodate a wide range of barrel sizes, and the adjustable lees pin on the bottom of the wand helps leave unwanted sediments behind.

Polished finish and excellent quality welds. It's sold without a sight-gauge welded-in or attached. Tri-clamp sight gauge available separately.
