when loss of weight ceases, the fer
mentation is complete; (2) test some
of the juice with a Brix or Balling
hydrometer. The reading of juice
suitable for making satisfactory
vinegar should not be less than 10.
AS the fermentation proceeds, this will
decrease daily until it is not more
than l or 2, which indicates that the
sugar has practically all been utilized.
Action of Yeast.
The action of the yeasts on the
cells makes 1t easy to separate the
juice from the berries, squeezing it by
hand through cheesecloth. The juice
insure proper acetic fermentation,
small amount of vinegar should be
added as starter. An unpasteurized
vinegar is best for this purpose, but if
this is not at hand, use any good
vinegar in the proportion of l part to
of the fermented juice. Cover as be-
fore and allow to stand without agita-
ton in a warm place. A scum or
film will soon form. This should not
me disturbed.
The acetic fermentation sometimes
takes place very rapidly where berries
are used. The acidity should be de
termined daily by withdrawing a
small amount of the vinegar hs means
of suction through a pipette or glass
tube and submitting it to test by the
use OF vinegar tester, or in the
absence of this, determining by the
taste when it is sufficiently acid. As
soon as the vinegar reaches proper
degree of acidity Qt should contain A
per cent acetic acid), the fermenting
process should be stopped. This is
done by first filtering through paper
or filtering-cloth, and bottling. Bottles
should be well filed and sealed tight
ly with paraffined corks.
