Hsu’s Legend Three Step Fermentation Process:
1st Stage: Breaking complex carbohydrates into simple sugars
After rice is cooked and steamed into a mushy texture, koji (aspergillus oryzae) is added into the tank to ferment for 48 hours.
2ND Stage: Making Alcohol
Yeast is added into sugar to make alcohol. (The quality of alcohol will determine if the vinegar becomes high quality or low quality) This stage is also used to make alcohol as well as rice peptides used in skincare products.
3rd Stage: Making Vinegar
A pressing machine filters alcohol into a vinegar fermentation tank where acetate bacteria is added to ferment into vinegar.
