Chapter 145 (1/2)
While Donne was making wine tunes, durandon, croto and the dwarves around him were staring, but
They don't understand.
However, because they can't understand it, they are more curious.
It seems that what he is doing has nothing to do with wine making, but after seeing Donne get out those things, he looks relieved. Doesn't it just mean that what he is doing now has a lot to do with wine making
So they looked more focused.
Donne didn't care about them and kept busy.
The next step is to use magic to fully steam the barley, then move it into the fermentation tank, sprinkle it into the newly cultivated Daqu and start saccharification and fermentation.
If it is normal fermentation, it will take at least two or three days, and then it will be moved into the fermentation tank for secondary sealed fermentation, but with the help of Nora, it is completely different.
The little guy's life force can catalyze this process and make the fermentation complete in a short time.
Nora, help me
OK, what should I do
Just give me the power to control
With the help of Nora's power, don began to catalyze the fermentation again. At the same time, the mage's hand kept turning over the steamed barley to fully stir the distiller's yeast and barley. Under the catalysis of life power, the cooled barley began to heat and ferment again. After about the same time, don directly wrapped all the barley with magic and completely isolated from the air, Then catalyze the fermentation again.
The process of secondary fermentation was quite long, but under the influence of Nora's power, it only took less than an hour to complete, and at this time, it was just noon.
When Donne opened a gap and smelled the strong smell of alcohol, he finally smiled.
Fermentation to this extent is OK. If you don't steam wine and continue fermentation, it will soon become vinegar.
So Donne withdrew Nora's life force, moved the fermented barley into the wine steamer, connected the condenser and began steaming wine.
Due to the convenient magic power, the steps of steaming wine are not as cumbersome as on earth. Donne can control both water flow and flame very accurately, and the condenser is more effective under the action of ice magic.
When the boiling steam passes through the grain and takes away the alcohol, the liquor soon begins to flow out of the nearby condensate pipe.
This pot has steamed about 100 kg of barley. Although the liquor yield of barley on earth is about 30% to 40%, it is almost impossible to produce 40% pure wine. After steaming, a bird fades out. Donne tasted the last steamed wine here. It still looks more than 30 degrees. As a result, there are more than 40 kg of pure wine, The rate of wine production is amazing!
Dumne started to ferment barley at a very high rate, and it was completely steamed out at one breath, and finally got more than 450 Jin of barley Baijiu, which could also be called barley.
Smelling the barley liquor that had just steamed and exuded the smell of grain, Donne began to swallow his saliva, not to mention the good wine dwarves around him. They stretched their necks, stared straight, leaned forward hard, and sucked the smell of wine in the air hard.
Dumne is not a good wine man, but he occasionally drinks some Baijiu before attending some parties. But since he tried to steamed Baijiu, he saw the so-called pure grain wine sold on the market.
The real pure grain wine is just smelled and can be drunk with one mouthful. Just like this barley wine, it smells like a strong smell of wheat. It is more comfortable and soft to drink in the mouth. Pure grain wine should be like this.
And the so-called pure grain wine sold on the market? If you don't mix industrial alcohol with you, you will have a conscience
Next to durandon and croto, they were shocked to see that Donne actually steamed wine at last, and it was still a wine they had never seen before.
Smelling the strong smell of wheat, the wine bug in durandon's stomach was hooked up. He looked at Donne eagerly: ”Donne, what kind of wine is this? So fragrant?”
Dumne smiled lightly: ”barley wine is made from barley, but it is barley Baijiu, unlike beer.”
”Barley Baijiu... Can I try it?”
”Of course, but the wine is strong. You --”
Durandon didn't wait for Donne to finish, so he picked up the spoon next to him, scooped it up and poured it into his mouth.
At the next moment, duranden stared wide and almost sprayed the liquor out of his mouth. But I don't know if it was because he wasn't willing, he stubbornly held it back and swallowed it after tasting it in his mouth for a moment.
Then he stayed there and his face soon turned red.
”Can you get me some?”
Croto is not an alcoholic, but he is happy to try something new.
”Of course.”
Donne gave him some wine and said with a smile, ”take your time to taste.”
Croto took a small sip and frowned. It seemed a little difficult to accept the taste. After a while, he took another sip. This time, he finally tasted the strong smell of wheat inside, closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while before drinking.
”It's hard to describe. The feeling at the entrance is very... Soft, completely different from beer, but when you swallow it, it's like a fire. It's very powerful and more exciting than lava beer...”
Donne himself took a sip and shook his head and said, ”soft entrance, a line of throat.”
