Why does homemade wine explode?

The reason why wine-making will explode is because there is something wrong with the koji used for wine-making. Some koji will produce a lot of gas when used to make wine, which is a bit like making steamed bread with yeast. These gases are constantly accumulating in a closed container. When the pressure reaches a certain intensity, it will explode. If there is a fire source near the explosion, it is very likely to cause a fire.

There are not a few cases of explosion in brewing. For example, the explosion at Ms. Chen's home in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province was mainly due to the fact that her mother made wine with plums, which led to a large amount of gas, and the gas kept accumulating in a closed container. When the pressure reaches a certain value, the container explodes, which is not very harmful. If there is a fire source around the explosion, it may not be like this, which will cause a fire.

Self-brewing is very important, and I also like to make my own wine, such as grapes, oranges and glutinous rice, which are all raw materials for my wine making. However, I have been brewing wine myself for so many years and there has never been an explosion accident. First of all, I have to buy a still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' still' This is similar to the principle of biogas production, so it is for this reason that Ms. Chen's homemade wine will explode. Brewing raw materials are fermented by this impure distiller's yeast to produce a lot of gas, just like making steamed bread with yeast, which naturally produces a lot of gas.

Although regular koji will produce gas in the fermentation process, this situation is relatively rare, so there will be no explosion problem. As long as it is not close to the fire source, there is basically no danger.

Small knowledge of explosion-proof in daily life

First, the fuel tank

If you have a gas tank at home, you must pay attention to that old gas tank, you must pay attention to it. Old gas tanks are prone to explosion and accidents.

Second, natural gas.

Now every household has natural gas, so it is particularly important to use it safely. The kitchen should be ventilated, people should turn off the fire, and people should stay at the scene when cooking in the kitchen.

Third, liquor.

If there is liquor at home, be sure to stay away from the fire source. Alcohol in liquor is volatile, and it is easy to deflagrate when it meets a fire source, causing accidents. Therefore, liquor and gasoline are extremely dangerous goods.

Fourth, pressure cooker

The pressure cooker must not be used to cook porridge and porridge-like ingredients, because when cooking porridge with the pressure cooker, the viscous substances in the porridge will block the air outlet, causing the pressure in the pressure cooker to exceed the safe air pressure, leading to the explosion of the pressure cooker.

In addition, when stewing meat in pressure cooker, the lid cannot be opened immediately after stewing meat. Instead, the pressure cooker should be deflated first, and the gas inside should be released through the decompression vent, and then the lid should be opened after the pressure reaches normal atmospheric pressure.

Five, microwave oven

Recently, there was an accident. Wang put an egg in the microwave oven to heat it. When he turned on the microwave oven, the egg exploded, causing a serious accident of blindness in his left eye, so the microwave oven could not heat the egg.

Ingredients that can't be heated by microwave oven are: eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, quail eggs, preserved eggs, cola, lunch boxes and other closed containers. Anyway, anything with a shell and a seal can't be put into the microwave oven.

Six, carbonated drinks

There are frequent explosion accidents of carbonated drinks, mainly because canned carbonated drinks are put into the freezer, which leads to internal expansion after freezing, thus causing an explosion.

7. Oil pan

You must wear goggles when frying food. It is particularly important to note that ice cubes and unfrozen frozen food cannot be directly put into a high-temperature oil pan, otherwise it will explode and cause fires and other accidents.

8. stir-fry

When cooking, pay special attention to the fact that the oil temperature can't be too high, and frozen food can't be put in directly, which is easy to explode.

The reason for the explosion of homemade wine is the problem of koji. Some distillers' yeast produced a lot of gas in the process of self-brewing, which caused the pressure in the closed container to be too high and exploded.
