Degradation of alcohol rate caused by the happening of continuation ferment, that is alcohol turned into acetate acid because happened reaction of estherification. Process of this estherification always happened so that making alcohol rate and organic acids go down To obtain brem beverage with well guaranteed quality, hence process of specially process ferment cover : fermentation, maturation and pasteurizes (aging) require obtaining furthermore observation and attention.
