Chapter 164: This cat in the distillery is too powerful! [Are the shovelers afraid?]
Follow the staff as you look at the facilities of the brewery.
“…… Moist barley cannot be stored, so the malted barley is roasted with coal or peat and dried so that it can be stored for later malt whisky production. ”
"Peat is a fuel that is widely available in Scotland. Unlike coal, peat contains a lot of water in its natural state, and its solid-state matter is mainly composed of incompletely decomposed plant residues and completely humic humus, as well as minerals. ”
The crowd also nodded cooperatively, some curious people and tourists also pinched a little peat and tried it in their hands, Zhang Feng also measured it, and it felt similar to plasticine, maybe the viscosity was worse.
"Our distillery generally buys or uses malt batch by batch. The first step is grinding, where the malt is ground to different finenesses to facilitate the next step. Hot water is added to the ground malt to make it saccharified, a bit like boiling malt porridge. "Stop-and-go, it's still novel, it's different from the winemaking method that Zhang Feng learned from the old man in Sri Lanka, here he cares more about the shape, and the old man's winemaking cares more about God.
"Front, in glass barrels, these are yeast added to wake up and ferment. Yeast breaks down the sugars in the wort to produce alcohol. At this point, it's very similar to the beer we usually drink. ”
"Can you taste it?" said one tourist.
The staff smiled and responded, "When we get back to the visitor center, you can try it." ”
"This is the final step, where the distilled spirit is collected, poured into the processed oak barrels, and the rest is left to the time to age. Generally speaking, our Scotch whisky needs to be aged in oak barrels for at least 3 years before it can be called Scotch whisky. Of course, the vast majority of Scotch whisky will be aged in oak barrels for at least 8 years. The staff member pointed to a busy crowd.
"Sure enough, how old is the oldest whisky here? Zhang Feng finally couldn't hold it back, what he was looking for was spirits, the longer the vintage, the more flavorful and strong it was.
When the staff heard Zhang Feng ask, they also introduced it, and said, "We have here, and the highest one for sale is twenty years. ”
"And there are older wines?"
"If you want a higher vintage, you can go to the Granta Distillery this afternoon, where there will be a fine wine auction, and I am sure that the gentleman can buy the vintage he wants. The staff responded enthusiastically.
"Okay, thank you. ”
After returning to the visitor center, the staff gave everyone who wanted to taste the puree a small glass of wine, which tasted like unfiltered rough beer, not very tasty, but full of malty aroma.
I didn't get what I wanted in this distillery, so Zhang Feng didn't stop long, and drove to the Grant Distillery, on the way, Zhang Feng turned on the live broadcast, intending to tell the audience in the live broadcast room about the interesting things that happened in the past few days, but before the live broadcast was opened, there were many barrages telling stories about the five thieves.
[Live broadcast, hello Niucha!]
[Awesome, you can still run if you win money in the casino.] 】
[Yo he, the anchor is still driving by himself!]
……
"Wait, you know about me going to gamble?" Zhang Feng was surprised.
[It's long been in the headlines, and the headline I read is that a Chinese man and four local tyrants ransacked Manchester City's casino!]
[Shocked, the Chinese man was actually ...... on Gay Street in Manchester City]
……
With various headlines, Zhang Feng attacked Gay Village at night two days ago, and slipped away with four local tyrants who won almost 300 million pounds, which became another topic of conversation among the Chinese people after Zhang Feng took a photo with Prince William and other British celebrities.
"Ahem, ahem...... It just happened to smell the same as those few people, and as soon as it was totaled, it was a big wave, and I had a serious business to make money, so I went to buy wine, and now I'm rushing over there. Zhang Feng explained.
[What wine costs 10 million pounds?]
[Anchor, I'm afraid you're out of your mind. 】
……
"Don't mention this, you'll know later, I haven't done it in the past two days, it's on the road, the scenery along the way is not bad, just driving here, to be honest, it's a little cautious, sometimes you can't see anyone for half an hour." Zhang Feng complained.
[Then you don't start the live broadcast early and chat with us.] 】
[The scenery along the way is so good, don't take us to see.] 】
……
"I said I forgot your letter, don't talk about this, there haven't been any major events in China recently?" Zhang Feng asked, he hadn't watched the domestic news for several days.
[Yes, it's still holding on, and then it's gone.] 】
[Or the anchor, you go there and broadcast it live for everyone to see.] 】
……
"You're trying to get me on your knees, okay, it's coming, let's take a look at the number one selling Scotch whisky distillery. After parking the car, Zhang Feng walked to the winery, which was still a little away.
"On the way, I learned that Granta is one of the important distilleries of the Eddington Group, and it is also responsible for the brand center of its Whisky Blends. Weique is the sales champion, see it, there is a big ...... at the door The ugly grouse sculpture looks a little silly, haha. ”
"The name wall of the distillery made of barrels, don't mention the barrels in the alliance...... One is a real cask and the other is a real cask. ”
[Haha, pun intended!]
[The anchor is very witty, which reminds me of how much I can wear in the summer and as much as I can wear in the winter of the Chinese 8th level exam. 】
[It looks good, it's a little tasteful, what's the situation with the cat sculpture next door?]
……
"Cat, I'll take a look, there's an introduction, it's about this little winery, once had such a cat, conscientious, diligent, jumping up and down, catching 28,899 mice, at the age of 24. In order to commemorate him, the employees of the distillery asked the cat slaves to erect a monument for him, and awarded a Guinness World Record...... The cat's name is Toser. Today, two cats, named glen and turret, have inherited Toser's mantle. ”
[Wow, I'm also a shovel officer!]
[My family also caught a mouse.] 】
[I have a Persian cat, and I am still scared when I see my little hamster......]
……
mentioned cats, the shovel officials in the entire live broadcast room were making a fuss, and they had cats to understand the fun of having a cat playmate, but it also aroused the counterattack of dog lovers, dog lovers began to talk about dogs, and the barrage of chatting on both sides was simply explosive, and the system screened itself was also among the dogs and cats, which made Zhang Feng hang by the way.
Glen and Turre are two cats, one black and one white, and Zhang Feng can't see the breed, but looking at the lazy appearance of the two cats, Zhang Feng is very skeptical that these two cats are carrying forward the mantle of Toser.
