White is mold and other stray bacteria gathered things, is stained with cold water brought in by the propagation of stray bacteria caused by, commonly known as raw flowers.

Kimchi water inside the body is generally strong ability to inhibit bacteria, mainly lactic acid and salt. Lactic acid is produced by fermentation of lactic acid bacteria within the kimchi water, which is generally unmanageable, and salt is added by people. Take kimchi will take away the salt, usually pay attention to replenish the salt in it is good.

But the surface of the kimchi water body is relatively different, with the passage of time, kimchi water in the suspension of the increase in a large number of suspended particles due to the proximity of the air on the surface (oxygenated), similar to the small islands in the sea, compared to the internal environment of the body of water is more suitable for the breeding of stray bacteria brought in. After the formation of the scale is the proverbial birth of flowers.

After understanding the process of flower production, you can treat the symptoms:

1. Get rid of the brigade of stray bacteria.

The fungus usually only reproduces on the surface of the water body, so you can use a clean utensil to fish it out. Fish the process of utensils will be stained with stray fungal colonies, to avoid the utensils into the water and bring stray bacteria into the water body, should be fished against the surface of the water, fished once to clean a utensil. After the white flower fishing, continue to the surface of the water body that layer of water also scooped off.

2. Resolve the remnants of stray bacteria.

White flowers can not be seen with the naked eye after the large force of fungi has been eliminated almost. But there are still a lot of naked eye can not see the remnants of the lingering, as soon as there is a suitable living environment will quickly reproduce comeback. Since they are invisible to the naked eye, physical methods cannot be used. The only way to deal with them is to limit the environment in which they live.

One is to improve the water body's ability to inhibit bacteria. Adequate supplementation of salt, and then add some high degree of wine (must be high degree of wine, more than 50%, the higher the better, low sterilization effect is very low or even useless), the amount of wine to your own feeling, spread to be able to cover the entire surface of the body of water as appropriate, not too much.

The second is de-oxygenation. Harmful bacteria are almost all aerobic bacteria, as long as the pickle water on the upper side of the oxygen removed, then the surface of the water body of the bacteria will be very difficult to survive. How to deoxidize depends on your actual situation. You can buy deoxidizer on the market, buy a copy and find a way to place it in the pickle bed. Folk way is to use iron, iron is easy to be oxidized, will be clean iron directly into the kimchi water can be deoxygenated, will be iron powder, or crushed iron packages adhering to the top of the kimchi altar lid, can remove the oxygen in the air. However, there is a bad thing about using iron is that it produces rust after absorbing oxygen. Therefore, the practice of putting iron into the water is only used to remove the white flowers, and it is necessary to remove them after the removal.

After the completion of the above steps, sealed, room temperature, put a 2-3 days, if the white flowers do not continue to appear, it means that the remnants of the bacteria eliminated. If it continues to appear, it is not strong enough to kill stray bacteria.

In short, the maintenance of kimchi on the three basic principles:

1. Keep the salt.

2. Deoxidize.

3. Sanitation.

No matter what the approach is, it obeys the above principles. Therefore, as long as the approach in line with the above principles, can solve the problem of raw flowers.
