Acetobactor and cider presses
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... Cathy Weeks

Acetobactor and cider presses
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. Cathy Weeks wrote: I considering getting my own cider press (someday, anyway).

Acetobactor and cider presses
In a commercial operation we never had any problem.
Wash slats with fresh water and allow to dry. If you want to go a bit further soak in water at 80 C for about half hour. Aceto bacter is very sensitive to sulphur dioxide so a dilute citric acid bisulphite mix at a couple of hundred ppm SO2 will work. Hot water treatment is best as you also get rid of wild yeast which is a far greater problem.
