The invention discloses a vinegar
brewing method which comprises the following steps: weighing sticky rice in a needed amount to be ground, adding water to form
raw material mash, adding
amylase intothe mash, and controlling the temperature until liquidation is completed; reducing the temperature to 25-30 DEG C, adding a proper amount of barley Daqu, maintaining the temperature for 3-4 hours, andthen cooling; adding
yeast liquid, adding
bran, performing alcoholic
fermentation at the temperature of 30 DEG C, and taking the upper mash for later use; and finally, adding a proper amount of
acetic acid to serve as an initial base acid for
fermentation, adding the mash into a tank, controlling the temperature to be 30 DEG C, starting to introduce air, and adding a proper amount of acetic acidbacteria seed solution, thereby obtaining the vinegar when the alcoholic strength reaches 0.5% or less. The method is high in production efficiency and short in
production cycle, and the prepared vinegar is full-flavored, so that the content of
nonvolatile acid in the vinegar is increased, and the
flavor of the vinegar is improved. The vinegar prepared by the method disclosed by the invention hasthe total acidity of more than or equal to 6g / 100ml and the
nonvolatile acid content of more than or equal to 0.5g / 100ml, and the requirement of the
national standard on the
nonvolatile acid content is met.
