    The surface of home-brewed wine has a white film called acetic acid bacteria. Acetic acid bacteria are harmful bacteria floating in the air, which can seriously affect the quality of home-brewed wines, and the wine contaminated with acetic acid bacteria is irreversible and there is no way to save it. The cause of acetic acid bacteria on the surface of self-made wine is that the wine is in contact with the air in a large area, and the root cause of this phenomenon is the wrong winemaking method and winemaking equipment used.

    It is not possible to use any container to make your own wine, because the use of these substitute containers cannot guarantee the quality of your own wine and the hygienic standards in the winemaking process, so you must use special winemaking equipment, this reason is very simple, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Especially for those who are new to brewing, they have no experience in brewing, and they can no longer use the brewing equipment correctly, and the failure of brewing is expected. The picture shows a good home-brewing equipment, only the use of this special winemaking equipment can prevent the wine from coming into contact with the air, and fundamentally ensure the quality of the home-brewed wine and the hygienic standards of the winemaking process.

    There are several reasons for this

    First, the temperature of the fermentation environment is too high during the fermentation process of homemade wine, which causes the fermentation bacteria to be too active and expand rapidly;

    Second, there are unclean bacteria in the production process (such as the container is not mixed with high-temperature bacteria, raw water, etc.), which is mixed with grape juice to form mildew.

    There is raw water flowing into it, or there is a leak of air. It's broken, I can't ask for it.

    Solution: After removing the long hair, don't shake to remove the top layer of wine! After 2 days of observation, if there is no mold, you can continue to ferment, if mold again, add live yeast.

    Wine hair growth causes:

    1.The method of making wine is not right. During the winemaking process, the contact area of home-made wine with air is too large, and bacteria breed, resulting in mold. Most likely, the wine is exposed to air over a large area during filtration.

    2.The brewing container used is not clean. If the winemaking container is not cleaned before the start of the winemaking process, there may be oil stains or dirt, which will eventually lead to the growth of bacteria and hairiness.

    3.The grapes are not fermented at all, the sugar content is too high and causes mold, the treatment method, the addition of live yeast.

    Mould is a common natural phenomenon, such as food will become moldy after a long time of storage, and the phenomenon of 'hair' is often seen in humid environments. Mold is actually a type of microorganism called a "mold" that grows on it. Mold and eggs need the presence of water and the right temperature to grow and develop.

    Mold and eggs cannot absorb water when the water activity value is low and when the water activity value is increased after moisture, the mold and eggs will absorb water from the food and then decompose and eat the nutrients in the food.

    Fermentation process: Since home-brewed wine produces carbon dioxide (CO2) gas during the fermentation process, in order to prevent **, steel and food-grade plastic containers should be preferred, preferably large-mouthed containers, and grapes should not be filled. During fermentation, it is strictly forbidden to seal the container, and a gap should be left at the mouth of the bottle or sealed with eight layers of gauze.

    After the fermentation is completed, the wine should be completely separated from the yeast to prevent the bottle from fermenting during the storage period.

    Mould on homemade wines may be due to the fact that the grape skins have been in contact with the air for too long, and bacteria have grown too quickly, resulting in mold. It is also possible that the grapes did not ferment successfully, and the sugar content was too high, resulting in mold. It may also be that it has come into contact with the oil during the brewing process, or the container is not stuffy and clean, resulting in mold.

    Wine is a type of fruit wine made from grapes. There are many varieties of wine, and the product styles are different due to the different conditions of grape cultivation and wine production technology.

    Ancient Persia was one of the cradles of ancient civilizations, and most historians agree that Persia was the world's first wine-making country.

    With the wars and commercial activities of ancient times, the method of winemaking spread throughout Israel, Syria, and the Arab countries of Asia Minor.

    Hello landlord.

    When you say mold, you're talking about grape skins floating on top of wine, right?

    Scoop out the moldy grape skins and taste the wine, it should not be a big problem in the case that you don't fully understand, don't ferment the wine yourself, waste the grapes, the basic steps of making wine:

    1. Grapes should not be over-washed, and fermentation relies on yeast from the grape skin.

    2. The grapes must be broken.

    3. Grapes can not be added sugar in the early stage of sugar will inhibit the reproduction of yeast, the third day of fermentation can add sugar to increase the alcohol content, after the fermentation can be added to improve the taste.

    4. There are bubbles in the wine fermentation process, so the initial tank does not need to be sealed too tightly 5. During the fermentation process, it is necessary to stir and press the grape skins floating on it into the wine, generally twice a day 6. The container should reserve 30% of the space, otherwise the wine will overflow during the fermentation process.

    Home-brewed wine has a white film on the surface, which is called acetic acid bacteria. Acetic acid bacteria are a kind of harmful bacteria floating in the air, when the wine is contaminated with acetic acid bacteria, it will form a white film on the surface of the home-brewed wine, and over time, this layer of acetic acid bacteria will form more and more white film, thicker and thicker, and seriously affect the quality of the home-brewed wine. The reason why your own wine is contaminated with acetic acid bacteria and produces a white coat is that you have had a lot of contact with the air during the winemaking operation.

    The root causes of this result are:

    1. The mastered wine-making method is wrong, and the liquor is in contact with the air during the operation, which is most likely the liquor is exposed to the air in a large area during filtration;

    2. The winemaking container used is not professional, and it cannot be guaranteed that the liquor must be isolated from the air at all times. Preventing home-brewed wine from being contaminated and oxidized by harmful bacteria is a key technology that home-brewing wine lovers must first master. If the wine is contaminated, there is no way to save it.

    As for whether you can drink a spoiled wine, this is just like whether you can eat a spoiled food.

    The method of making homemade wine is as follows:

    1. Materials. 20 pounds of grapes, 1500 grams of rock sugar.

    2. Wash with water, add salt to soak for about 30 minutes, then rinse 3 times, wash and dry the water.

    3. Remove the stems of the grapes and break them open and put them in glass bottles.

    4. When the grapes are spread all over the bottom of the bottle, about 8 cm high, add a layer of rock sugar, and then spread 8 cm and add a layer of rock sugar.

    5. Leave a distance of 5-10 cm between the last layer of grapes and the mouth of the bottle.

    6. After fermentation for 15 days, use fine gauze to filter out the impurities.

    7. The wine can continue to ferment for 20-30 days after sealing it in a glass bottle.

    That's called fermentation. It is the result of the fermentation enzymes of the grapes, and if there is no "mold", there will be no wine. Fermentation enzymes are present in the "hoarfrost" on the grape skin, also known as "fruit powder".

    Moldy? Isn't it a film on it? Or is the solid ingredient in the wine infested by fungi?

    Now the key is to see how much alcohol you have, if the alcohol has reached more than 7%, you can filter it and try it, see if the taste and aroma make you very uncomfortable or don't drink it, just take it as an experiment!

    If it is during fermentation, it should be acetic acid bacteria, which means that your wine has been in severe contact with the air and the wine has been contaminated with acetic acid bacteria in the air. If it is a wine that has been made, it should be a problem with the storage environment, and the general wine storage humidity is required to be 70%-80%, and the humidity is too high to be easy to mold.

    This is an experimental class of biology in our high school, which is very good and successful, and the teacher also gave us a taste of what he often makes at home, which is very good.

    First, don't wash the grapes too cleanly, leaving behind the natural yeast.

    Second, the grape juice is filtered and bottled, preferably in a plastic bottle with a good seal.

    Third, remember to deflate the bottle after it is flatulated, do not finish it so as not to enter the air Fourth, observe, after fermentation, less gas production is almost the same, the next thing is filtration, and then it depends on your ability Precautions, seal, do not show 、、、

No, the whole process is as follows.

First, be sure to buy naturally ripe grapes in the summer when grapes are on the market in large quantities, and do not buy grapes grown in greenhouses out of season.
