Acetobactor and cider presses

Aug 10, 2006 2 Replies

I considering getting my own cider press (someday, anyway). So what keeps acetobacter (vinegar) from invading the cider press while it's in storage? I know you would only store it clean, but it seems to me that acetobacter would eventually impregnate the wood anyway...

Whats stopping acetobacter from infecting your utensils, carboys, other equipment and even the wine itself?

the press is laquered so the slats are not as porous as raw wood, even so, you want to clean it right after use. you will not have any problems.

As with all wine you just need to keep a fully topped up secondary adn you will not have any problems.
