Chapter 101: The Fermentation Process

The process of transforming immortal rice into immortal liquor is not so simple, it requires a tedious process, and the first step is saccharification. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

To put it simply, Zhu Renming cooks the rice and then adds koji to it, and the mold inside will break down the starch into sugar.

This process requires an overnight fermentation, so patience is required to make wine.

Each step is crucial, and if the mashing is not complete, the second step is impossible.

After decomposing into sugar, the yeast ferments glucose into alcohol, a process that takes about 20-30 days, and after the alcohol is obtained, the key distillation is done.

Zhu Renming is very familiar with the method of making wine, and it takes at least a month to make immortal wine.

He spent a few days cooking 350 catties of fairy rice and putting it indoors for fermentation, waiting for the day when the fermentation was successful.

"It's no wonder that there are fewer and fewer real rice wine on the market, and the steps of making wine are indeed very cumbersome." It is a pity that I have not been able to taste the wine after a few days of hard work.

It will take about a month to have the opportunity to distill the liquor, and at that time it will be necessary to check the fermentation, and if the quality is not good, it will have to be re-fermented.

350 catties of fairy rice have been cooked, and I don't know how much liquor can be distilled when the fermentation is done?

Generally speaking, a 30-40% wine yield is considered good, after all, the process is not advanced, and if the new process is adopted, the investment in equipment is too large.

Zhu Renming did not specialize in opening a distillery, so there was no need to enter the equipment for brewing liquor with a new process, and the relatively rudiment equipment may lead to a decrease in the yield of liquor.

But Zhu Renming believes that the quality of Xianmi should not disappoint him, and it is enough to reach 50% of the wine production rate.

The remaining distiller's grains can be fed to wild boars and sows, which is the best pig food and can improve the nutritional content of wild boars and sows.

Zhu Renming will pick a few sturdy wild boar breeds and bring them to buy from the villagers, and during this time he can start to breed a new generation of people's native pig No. 1.

And he plans to carry out second-generation cultivation, without the constraints of orders, Zhu Renming can cultivate according to his own ideas, although there is no divine beast sewage, but he can more appreciate the difficulty of cultivation.

Of course, the sake lees have to wait for the rice cooked by the fairy rice to ferment into alcohol, and now that the distillation has not started, how can there be sake lees.

Although sake lees are a good thing, if it is sake lees produced by other wineries, Zhu Renming may not go into it, and he is not very confident about the quality of the wine they brew, and the sake lees naturally have no nutrition at all.

Inferior sake lees can easily affect the quality of pork, and he now raises both male and female parents, so he pays more attention to their health.

After a period of time, it will officially start cultivating, and Zhu Renming hopes that it will be carried out smoothly.

After finishing the fermented rice, Zhu Renming was idle, and he was unwilling to drive the generator to drive the air conditioner and computer to play games in broad daylight.

In order to let the generator get some rest, he tried not to use electricity during the day, although the existence of fairy oil has maximized the efficiency of the fuel, but the province still has to be saved.

And whether it is a diesel generator or a gasoline generator, if it runs for a long time, it is still unbearable.

If the automatic repair and wear are not balanced, they will be completely scrapped after a while, which is why Zhu Renming chooses to rotate.

Nowadays, if you want to go out to do things during the day, it is better to be in a state of power outage, and in a few days, the power supply company should complete the repair.

At that time, Zhu Renming will not have to use a generator to generate electricity by himself, and it is still relatively good to use stable alternating current.

Last time, Zhu Renming caught five centipedes in the No. 1 worm pit, and then he has been busy harvesting rice, drying it, milling rice, cooking rice, fermenting and other matters.

After a few busy days, Zhu Renming went up the mountain again and changed places to dig pits and cast nets to release fairy oil bait.

While waiting in the morning, Zhu Renming was a little drowsy, and there were no centipedes or other poisons to take the bait, and Zhu Renming, who was sleeping with his eyes squinted, didn't notice that Wangcai left next to him.

He doesn't have the habit of bringing a dog leash to Wangcai, and the smart Wangcai is not used to being restrained, so Zhu Renming is left to it, anyway, the surrounding area is sparsely populated, and he is not afraid that Wangcai will provoke anyone.

"What the hell, how did I sleep." Zhu Renming looked at the worm pit set up and there was still no harvest, stood up, and planned to change places.

Go up and put away the net bag and the tin foil dripping with fairy oil, and you can use it again later, so that it will not be wasted.

"Wangcai, let's go!" Zhu Renming greeted him, but there was no response, and he only now found that Wangcai was gone.

Zhu Renming shook his head, swept away the uneasiness in his heart, and said to himself: "No, how can there be anything to do with Wangcai, others will have to walk around when they see it!" ”

As he was thinking, a familiar barking of a dog attracted Zhu Renming's attention and sprinted in the direction of the barking.

Zhu Renming saw that there were five earth dogs surrounding Wangcai, and these five dogs were either injured or dehaired, and they looked like stray dogs.

Wangcai roared a few times, deterring the stray dogs, probably too hungry, the stray dogs were in a hurry, attacking Wangcai with an absolute numerical advantage, intending to eat it alive!

Zhu Renming saw Wangcai fighting five stray dogs, the scene was extremely intense, if he didn't make a move, it was estimated that he could still defeat five skinny stray dogs.

But it will definitely be injured, and the teeth of stray dogs carry a lot of bacteria, and Wangcai is too seriously injured, and if it is not treated in time, it is easy to get infected.

"Get out of here!" Zhu Renming held the shovel he brought, and used it as a weapon to swing at the stray dogs attacking Wangcai, and Zhu Renming's appearance turned the siege into a counterattack.

Zhu Renming, who has weapons in hand, is not afraid of these stray dogs, and fights side by side with Wangcai to beat the stray dogs to the ground.

Eventually, they were beaten away, but Wangcai was also bitten on the body, so that with his physique, there would be no problems.

In order to prevent accidents, after returning to the farm, Zhu Renming will treat it to avoid inflammation of the wound.

"Why do stray dogs attack Wangcai?" Zhu Renming was a little incomprehensible, it stands to reason that although Wangcai is fighting alone, his single strength is extremely strong, and the stray dogs will not know that Wangcai is not easy to mess with, right?

There must be something hidden, maybe the two sides are fighting for something?

Zhu Renming was also very strange about what Wangcai was guarding, so he couldn't help but look around, and didn't find anything abnormal, so he squatted down and looked at Wangcai, intending to get some useful information from its eyes.
