265.Wine Baked (Monthly Pass 22+)

Americans' love for authentic Chinese food is not as exaggerated as it is in movies and television, so Li Du has made some nondescript Chinese dishes such as sweet and sour pork ribs and honey-glazed chicken. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, there is also Zuo Zongtang chicken, a dish he only learned about after arriving in the United States, but the Americans still bought it, so he learned it.

Hannah was baking apples, and she said, "I'm going to play a few tricks this time, ice cream baked apples, Oreo baked apples, smoothie baked apples, I think it must be good." ”

Li Du patted her on the shoulder and said, "Of course, this is the best dessert in the whole flagpole city." ”

Smith, who was preparing the barbecue, looked back and said, "No, Lee, it's not the best dessert in Flagpole City, you should try my grandmother's rainbow cake roll, I swear you will, you'll love it......"

The further back he got, the quieter his voice became, as Hannah's gaze grew more and more stern.

Li Du laughed, he also patted Smith on the shoulder, and said, "Man, it's really God bless that you can find a girlfriend." ”

Smith scoffed.

Outside, Hans and Godzilla were brewing, the bonfire was rising, and the stills were hung up, steaming hot.

Li Du asked, "What raw materials did you use?"

"Corn flour, pig feed," says Hans. ”

"What? this joke is boring!" Li Du glared at him.

Hans said, "Man, that's what you don't understand, corn flour is the raw material for whiskey." It's also okay to use pig feed, as its main ingredient is corn, and it's easy to buy. ”

"And it doesn't attract attention. Godzilla added.

Moonshine is illegal, and at some point, care had to be taken when purchasing corn, which was considered to be the purchase of raw materials for winemaking.

In other words, what Hans is doing now is illegal.

However, if you drink it yourself and don't enter the market, the police don't care much, and this kind of thing is not held accountable by the people.

Li Du gasped: "You really got some pig feed to make wine?"

Hans laughed when he saw him and said, "It's not easy for me to buy pig feed, well, I'll be honest, I used soaked corn flour with malt syrup. ”

Americans brew their own wine, usually by soaking raw corn flour in hot water in a still, sometimes adding sugar to it, or even directly replacing grains with sugar, so that the brewing speed will be faster.

However, traditional moonshiners add malt, which converts the starch in the corn flour into sugar, and then adds yeast, and the fermentation process begins.

One of the most commonly used mash ingredients used by Hans is now a mixture of malt and corn flour that is converted into sugar water and yeast added.

The fire raged under the still, but Hans was still not satisfied with the temperature, and said, "We're not ready enough, man, we should use propane as fuel." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, what we have is time for the alcohol to evaporate," Li Du said. ”

Normal brewing is as simple as mixing the ingredients into a distillation tank and letting the alcohol evaporate.

Alcohol is volatile, and the pressure inside the still becomes higher due to the increase in temperature, which can cause the alcohol to volatilize more easily.

In this way, as the alcohol vapor is pressed into the drainage arm, the first liquor is born.

Li Du watched curiously, and then received a phone call, Sophie came over.

He walked out of the grove and saw the female doctor waiting on the side of the road.

The weather is hot, and Sophie wears a blue off-the-shoulder dress with a chic puff sleeve design, which is cool and has a sweet girlish atmosphere.

Because the dress has a cinched waist, it is easy to highlight the charming curve between Sophie's waist and hips.

In order to protect herself from the sun, she also paired it with a woven top hat with small flowers, which made her look like a pure girl who came on vacation.

Seeing Li Du, the female doctor cheered and said, "Wow, where did you come from?" I thought I was being swept away by you!"

Li Du made an inviting gesture and said, "Our camp is like a hobbit cave, and it is also like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it is very hidden. ”

As the two entered the camp, Hans stood up and shouted, "Welcome, welcome, welcome to the most beautiful flowers in Flagpole City." ”

Sophie covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Hans, you're still so flamboyant. ”

Hans spread out his hands and looked helpless: "Oh my God, I'm telling the truth! ”

Sophie shrugged, "I took a taxi, and the car drove me to the front, and then I walked over, so you didn't hear the car." ”

"You didn't drive?" Li Du asked casually.

Sophie said embarrassedly, "I don't have a driver's license, I can't drive." ”

Li Du was surprised, all the Americans he knew, as long as they were adults, didn't seem to know how to drive!

Hannah comes out to greet Sophie, both know each other, Sophie sees that she is busy making desserts, so she puts down her hat to help, and Li Du stays behind to help Hans make wine.

At this time, there was a 'bang' sound in a bucket connected to the drainage arm, Li Du was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's normal, don't be surprised," says Hans, "the alcohol vapor is being pressed into the vat, but some of the things in the mash come out with the steam, and they make this sound when they fall into the vat." ”

Later, Hans introduced Li Du to the name of the barrel, saying that the name of the barrel was 'Bang Bang Bucket', and the Bang Bang Bucket would evaporate the alcohol again and filter out the malt pulp.

As he introduced, he poured some more mash into it.

"What is this for?" asked Li Du.

"It's a filler, and you add some undistilled mash or a few litres of alcohol to the barrel, so that when the steam flows to the rotary box, it takes away more of the alcohol vapor and makes the wine stronger," says Hans. ”

Li Du said: "We don't need to brew a strong bar?"

Hans said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to drink spirits, there is beer in the fridge and juice for the girls." ”

Li Du snorted coldly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to stand these spirits." ”

The steam leaves the bang bucket and flows into the spiroline, which is a coiled tube coiled down on the inner wall of the spinning box, which is also silver and very precious.

There is a crate on the outside of the spiral pipe, and inside is cold water that has just been brought up from the well for the purpose of cooling the alcohol vapor.

The water flows in from the top and out from the bottom, so that the spiral tube can be continuously immersed in circulating cold water, which condenses the alcohol vapor into a liquid.

At the end of the spiral tube is a nozzle that is filtered and the result is a clear, intense moonshine that can be put on the market if it is bottled.

The first bottle of whiskey was brewed, and they were about to cheer when a police car suddenly roared in.

The siren honked sharply, and Hans subconsciously threw the bottle into the fire, shouting, "Hurry up and pour the wine out!"
