Chapter 121 [The Golden Coin is Beckoning]
After chatting with Wutong for a few words, Ye Nanshan fiddled with his own guy in the courtyard.
It's not difficult to make a simple still, and you can get it out in three or two clicks.
Lighting the stove, Yananshan began the first experiment.
Distilled liquor is to use the boiling point of liquor to only 78 degrees Celsius, and through high temperature, the liquor and water are distilled and separated, so as to increase the degree of liquor.
Normally, through the fermentation of the liquor produced, a pound of liquor can be distilled out of four taels or half a catty, Ye Nanshan is a finished liquor bought from the market, most of the time, the finished liquor will be mixed with some water, so, how much can be distilled is not necessarily, it depends on the conscience of the winery.
The liquor was boiled over a high fire, and the steam of the sake continued to emerge from the long tube with the lid attached, and the whole courtyard was filled with the aroma of sake.
"What are you doing here?" asked Sycamore curiously.
Ye Nanshan replied: "Winemaking." ”
Wutong looked at Ye Nanshan and asked, "You came back to get this?"
"That's right. Ye Nanshan nodded.
"Hmph!" Sycamore snorted softly and turned around and entered the house.
Ye Nanshan is still unknown, so okay, what's wrong with this?
He's afraid he's forgotten, he said before that he suddenly wanted to come back to Wutong, and now Wutong knew that he was back to toss some wine, and he just said that he missed her and came back to lie to her, so it's strange that Wutong can be happy.
Ye Nanshan has a straight male attribute, and at this time, he didn't even care about Wutong and continued to toss his distilled spirits.
The liquor has been boiled and boiled, and then, as long as the fire is reduced and the temperature is controlled to less than 100 degrees, so that the water does not boil, the liquor boils and evaporates, and the wine steam is cooled through a long tube and re-condensed into a liquid, and what flows out is the distilled spirit with higher alcohol content.
It was very simple to let the wine steam cool and condense into a liquid, Ye Nanshan just found a basin, filled it with some water, and put the long pipe part in the water, and then, what came out of the long pipe was not a steady stream of wine steam, but turned into wine and flowed into a small pot on the side.
The courtyard is now full of the aroma of wine, Ye Nanshan smelled the wine, and his heart was already happy, he felt that he didn't need to taste it, just smelling the smell could know that this wine was done.
The aroma of this wine is the aroma of white wine when you smell it.
In the first test of Yenanshan, the grain wine, the old white dry on the earth, and the first-class liquor of the second pot were used, and the main raw materials were also various grains.
Yenanshan this kind of grain wine, I didn't buy much, only five catties, and after a while, the wine no longer flowed out of the long tube, only some hot steam.
This is because the liquor in the cauldron does not have much alcohol content, and the rest is basically water, and the temperature in the pot is less than 100 degrees, the water does not boil, and it does not produce much steam.
The first distillation is considered to be completed, but the result of the distillation will have to wait for Ye Nanshan to taste the distilled liquor to be determined.
The liquor that has just been distilled is not suitable for immediate drinking, because the liquor that has just been distilled tastes more spicy, raw, bitter and astringent, far less than the taste after standing for a period of time, in addition, the liquor that has just been distilled has a higher alcohol content, up to 68 degrees, and such a high degree of liquor is not suitable for drinking.
However, Ye Nanshan uses finished wine, liquid distillation, and the degree of distilled wine will not be particularly high, touching about 50 degrees, such a degree, and I am not afraid that the alcohol content is too high to hurt the body, and at least if you taste it, there is no problem.
Ye Nanshan took a small cup, scooped a little and tasted it, and suddenly, a spicy taste exploded in his mouth and throat.
This wine is indeed not delicious.
It's not good to drink, but Ye Nanshan has tasted it and knows that this wine has really become!
Although the taste is not good, this is indeed the taste of liquor, Ye Nanshan does not know how many degrees this wine is now, but it can also be determined that the degree of this wine is definitely not low, the taste is more rushed than the liquor of more than 50 degrees drunk on the earth, just that sip, rushed to his throat sore, of course, this may also be because this wine has just been steamed out, so it is more spicy and dry, let it stand for a while, maybe it will be much better.
"Hahaha, hahahaha, get rich, get rich!" Ye Nanshan laughed in the courtyard with a wine glass on his face.
"You're dead!" said Wutong unhappily in the room.
Ye Nanshan was slightly stunned, he heard that Wutong was not very happy, but why was she unhappy?
Forget it, leave her alone for now, continue to make wine first, and then go buy her a string of sugar gourds later.
Weigh the amount of liquor that has just been distilled, one catty of seven taels, according to the normal proportion, one catty of liquor, can distill four taels or half a catty of liquor, however, the equipment of Yenanshan is simple, somewhat missing, a catty of liquor can be distilled out of four taels is good.
According to four taels, five catties of liquor should be distilled out of two catties of liquor, so the winery should still mix some water in this wine, so the amount is less.
This amount is still within the acceptable range of Ye Nanshan, and there are a few that sell wine that will not mix water, according to this proportion of water, Ye Nanshan feels that the winery is not too unconscionable, at least he will be given half a catty of water without a pound of wine.
Ye Nanshan bought seven or eight different kinds of liquor, and began to distill the liquor in the yard one by one, different liquors, the distilled liquor is also different, Ye Nanshan bought so many kinds of liquor before also to want to conduct many experiments, and choose the best.
In addition, the raw materials of the liquor are different, and the taste of the distilled liquor is also different, just like the grain wine, the distilled liquor tastes more spicy, and Yenanshan tastes a bit like Lao Baigan Erguotou and other liquors. The taste of the distilled fruit wine is a bit of rum and brandy.
What Ye Nanshan likes the most is the liquor distilled from the white jade liquor, which is the most expensive liquor that Ye Nanshan bought, and this kind of wine is also Murong Jianyu's favorite liquor.
The taste of white jade wine is light, warm and moist like jade, so it is called white jade wine, this wine has become higher through distillation, but the wine that has just been steamed out is obviously much better than other wines, not so spicy, and it tastes sweet and warm. When he drank this wine, Ye Nanshan's eyes lit up, no wonder the wholesale price of this white jade wine is one gold coin and one catty, Murong Jianyu likes this wine so much, this white jade wine is really good, the taste of the freshly steamed wine is so good, if you put it again, the taste can go to another level.
The main reason why the newly steamed liquor is not suitable for drinking is that the taste of the newly distilled liquor is too strong, the taste is not good, and the liquor can be fermented for a second time, which can become softer and more delicious, but this white jade wine does not seem to need to be put still, and the newly steamed liquor tastes very good.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that this white jade wine can be directly put into the market after distillation.
Ye Nanshan seemed to be able to see the golden coins beckoning to him.
