The steps before fermentation might include are fruit and juice blending, titratable acidity, pH measurements and sometimes adjustments, sulfur dioxide and yeast additions. During the initial stages of fermentation there is an evolution of carbon dioxide as the yeasts multiply and begins to break down the sugar into ethanol. In addition to fermentation metabolism of yeast, certain organoleptic compounds are formed that have an effect on the quality of cider, such as other alcohols, esters and other volatile compounds. An important effect is that due to the carbon dioxide released during alcoholic fermentation. After fermentation racking occurs into a clean vessel, trying to leave behind as much yeast as possible.
