Making of wine can be very interesting. This happens if one is involved with friends. Being involved in this procedure makes you unique as you doing something none of them is into. Identity is given to individuals who get themselves in this duty. When friends meet to drink, mostly they discuss the wine making processes. Like any other production, there are ingredients involved which include; yeast, malo-lactic and a variety of grapes. People keep forgetting the one most important procedure in this process. Wine making sanitizer. Information about it should be shared as it comes out to be a very vital step to wine making.
People get bored when they get to the stage of cleaning and sanitizing. They ignore the fact that it plays the major role in ensuring that the final product is enjoyable and safe. It is not an easy task, to sanitize but bearing in mind how important it is, we left with no option but to undertake it.
In the process of sanitizing, chemicals are used and in our case we focus on home winemakers. The information given in this article describes the best chemicals to be used, disadvantages and advantages of them and being informative to individuals whose hobby lies in this field.
Generally, sanitizing is the treatment of equipment used, with a chemical in order to prevent or eliminate any growing spoilage organisms including yeasts, molds and bacteria. The equipment ought to be cleaned before sanitizing. This is because the process cannot be effective with visible residue.
There are two effective methods of cleaning equipments. The use of a cleaning solution to scrub the fermentor is used. Less time is consumed, however, an individual gets his/her elbows greased. Another way is by using chemical and water where the fermentor is soaked and waited to clean.
When the two methods are put together, they give positive results. Time consumed in waiting for the fermentor to soak and clean is reduced as little scrubbing is required. The cleaning solution is put and a period of 20 minutes is given. Once soaked, little scrubbing is done ensuring residues are removed.
With the current technological advances, there has been introduction of cleaning chemical known as percarbonates. It is a mixture of both sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. It has some secret ingredients which makes it better than others. The chemicals stand a higher chance of removing dirt from equipments and is certain to work. Sanitation is made possible by inclusion of hydrogen peroxide. The percarbonates are environment friendly hence preferred over the others.
Sanitizing should come in once thorough cleaning is done. The sanitizer chemicals used include; sodium metabisulfite, potassium metabisulfite and campden tablets and should be added to water. The made solution is used to soak equipments for about 5-30 minutes. The corks and bottles are sanitized using potassium bisulfite as they are contact with the wine for the longest period. Again the chemical acts as a good preservant. Cleanness goes hand in hand with sanitizing hence it should be observed.
