Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 149
"It's very simple, but the temperature of the steaming wine is also very important. The temperature must be mastered, neither too big nor too small, but just right for steaming and simmering slowly.

The water in the iron pot on the wine set should also be changed at any time. If it is slightly hot when touched by hand, the water should be replaced with cold water. If this link is missing, the wine will not be distilled.

After that, distill the wine slowly, and observe the taste of the distilled wine at any time later. If the taste becomes weak, the distiller's grains in the big iron pot must be replaced with new ones, which also means that the distiller's grains in the pot cannot be distilled. Get out the wine. "Xie Fanxing taught Fanchen and Fanyang how to burn the fire to steam wine, and at the same time told them some precautions for steaming wine.

"The wine is out." After a while, Xie Fanxing heard the drizzling sound coming from the crock containing the wine.

When she lifted the white cloth covering the crock, there was a warm smell of wine.

Fan Yang on the side smelled the smell of wine, he couldn't help but close his eyes and became intoxicated and said: "The smell of the wine is rich and mellow, it must taste better than the wine I drank at New Year's Eve."

"You'll know if you try it." Xie Fanxing took out a small bowl, filled it with some sweet potato wine, and took a sip.

She couldn't help but nodded. Although the koji she made this time was not very good, the wine she made this time was much better than the one she bought before.

Not to mention the strong and mellow aroma of the wine, it is pleasant to the mouth, peaceful and warm, and not overpowering, and the alcohol is much higher than the wine I bought before.

I am afraid that some unscrupulous merchants have mixed all the good wine and the second-best wine into one bottle for sale in order to steam more wine and sell it for money.

What is good wine and bad wine?
The distinction between good wine and bad wine is based on alcohol content and turbidity.

At the beginning of steaming wine, the wine that comes out is not only fragrant and mellow, but also has high alcohol content, clear color, and no cloudiness. This is good wine.

For secondary wine, after a pot of wine has been steamed for some time, the fermented essence of the wine steamed in the pot has been distilled. Although it can still produce wine, no matter the alcohol content, the aroma of the wine, the entrance, and the color of the wine are clear The temperature is not as good as the initial part of the steamed wine.

It is equivalent to the fact that leftovers are not as delicious as freshly fried dishes.

"Sister, give me a sip." Xie Fanyang said impatiently.

"Cough cough cough! This wine is so strong!" Fanchen didn't compete with her elder brother for a drink. She took some wine from a small bowl by herself. Choked.

She coughed suddenly and her face turned red.

"Good wine, really strong, good strong wine! It's a pity that there is still a shortage of meat to go with the wine. Otherwise, it would be so delicious to drink and eat meat." Xie Fanyang couldn't wait to take the bowl of wine from his elder sister, and he He drank it all in one go, so even a little wine was not enough for him to drink, his eyes flickered, staring at the bamboo pipe from which the wine came out.

The meaning is very obvious, and I still want to drink.

"Sister, let me drink some! I want to taste it too." Xie Fanwen saw that they said it was delicious, and smelled the aroma of the wine, he couldn't sit still, he tugged at his elder sister's sleeve and said .

"You are too young to drink!" Xie Fanxing directly refused.

How dare she drink to Fanwen? Getting drunk is a trivial matter. If she develops into a little alcoholic and comes out, her uncle and aunt won't be able to explain it.

"Eldest sister, you are biased. Sister Fanchen has already drank it. We are still the same age. Why can't I drink it?" Xie Fanwen refused to say when he heard that his elder sister would not give him a drink.

"Didn't you see that your sister Fanchen coughed badly after taking that small sip?" Xie Fanxing pointed at Fanchen.

"It's unpalatable! It's neither sweet nor spicy. If you don't believe me, just dip a chopstick in some wine and taste it." Fan Chen saw Fan Wen looking towards him, so Fan Chen took a chopstick After drinking some wine, he stuffed it into Fanwen's mouth.

Fan Wen only licked the wine-soaked chopsticks with the tip of his tongue, and a burst of acridness came from him immediately, making his face bitter. Spit out the smell.

"Brother Fanyang, what's your taste? This wine is so spicy, it's not as delicious as you said. Even if you give me money to drink it now, I won't drink it." Xie Fanwen curled his lips and said.

"Personal tastes are different. Some people like to drink and some don't like to drink, but I like to drink. Big sister, give me some more!" Xie Fanyang smiled, and he handed the bowl to his big sister, asking for another drink Give him a drink.

"Wait for a while, there will be something for you to drink later." Xie Fanxing patted the small bench next to him, told him to sit down, and signaled him not to worry.

The distiller's grains prepared and fermented this time, sweet potatoes and rice, weighed about [-] catties. Xie Fanxing steamed the wine twice, [-] catties in one pot.

According to the yield rate of 50.00%, a pot of distiller's grains can produce about eight catties of wine.

However, when a pot of distiller's grains starts to steam the wine, the alcohol content, taste, mellowness and clarity of the wine will be affected due to the different production time.

Therefore, Xie Fanxing intends to separate the wines according to the time of release, alcohol content, taste, aroma and clarity.

Divide the steamed wine into good wine, good wine and inferior wine.

"Sister, the water in the iron pot above is starting to get a little hot, should we change the water?" Xie Fanchen touched the water channel in the iron pot above.

"Well, let's change it!" Xie Fanxing also took a bowl, took some wine out, and compared it with the previous wine. After steaming for a while, the wine that came out had no matter the aroma, color or taste of the wine. It's not as good as the wine I picked up before.

Seeing this, Xie Fanxing knew that it was time to pick up the wine, and the next step was to steam the wine.

She immediately took a big bamboo tube to the wine dispenser to receive the wine.

"Fanyang, if you drink this wine again, how does it taste?" Xie Fanxing took some good wine and handed it to Fanyang to drink.

Xie Fanchen saw that her eldest sister had changed the drinking utensils and filled some wine for her elder brother, and asked him how it tasted.

Seeing this, Xie Fanchen had a thoughtful expression on her face.

"This wine is worse than the one I drank just now. No matter in terms of aroma, color or taste, it is not as good as the wine I drank before." Xie Fanyang immediately noticed the difference between the two drinks.

"When the wine is first steamed, the wine that comes out is the best. As it slowly steams, the taste and mellowness of the wine will gradually become weaker and weaker, until there is no wine smell.

Now we have to divide the steamed wine into three grades. According to the different time, the wine will be picked up separately. The wine that was picked up for the first time is good wine. Now this is the second time to be picked up. The first wine is good wine, and the third wine is the second wine.

We can keep good wine for ourselves, or sell it for money, and we can sell good wine and inferior wine for money. "Xie Fanxing had planned for a long time, she explained to Xie Fanyang and the others.
