This is an enlightening video for people who are interested in barrel fermentation at home

I plan to ferment in an open barrel from above. How long after fermentation do you leave the liquid in the open barrel? How do you prevent fluid oxidation after fermentation? I would be happy to get you information about the technique. Thank you very much Another question: After fermentation in a barrel, the barrel is inflated, the barrel head is not inflated with liquid, after fermentation I want to close the barrel and transfer liquid to it. Is it difficult to close the barrel head? Is it necessary to inflate the barrel head before? Another question: after fermentation How do you perform a barrel sterilization? Especially in the upper part, with the fear that it did not accumulate bacteria ...

Is no one worried about contamination? Sticking your whole arm in there!?

I don't think you need to worry that is a problem. After all, some winemakers jump into full bins and tanks to punch down their fermenting grapes. As long as one observes basic standards of hygiene, there is no danger. All kinds of things get into wine during the process, starting with bugs, stones and dirt from the vineyard. You have to decide which wineries you are going to trust to make the effort to remove "mog" (material other than grape) on the sorting table and thereafter. And even if they don't, winemaking involves a long settling process and/or filtration which removes "mog". But overall, sanitation in winemaking is very unregulated and has been allowed to be so because of one important fact: no human pathogen (ie, a microbe that can hurt you) is able to exist in wine due to wine alcohol levels. There are microbes that can make the wine taste bad and of course other dangerous items could conceivably get into wine. But human contact with wine is not likely to be a problem.
