Methods and steps of grain brewing

Method of brewing grain wine with rice.

Props: cauldron, small pot, large wine jar, wine steamer, waste cotton wool, clean white cloth, large basin or tofu basin, large wine jar.

Ingredients: rice, baking powder and water.

Methods: 1. First, you need to wash the rice and put it in a sieve. At this time, you can boil water at the same time, not too much water. Generally, water and rice should be half (or slightly more than rice). After the water is boiled, put the rice in the pot and cook it. After the rice is put into the pot, it needs to be stirred properly with a spatula to prevent the pot from knotting.

When the rice is almost cooked, turn off the fire until the rice in the pot is completely cooked. When cooked, turn off the fire. After a little cooling, shovel it out of the pot and put it in the jar to cool. When the temperature is about 30-40 degrees, it can be mixed with rice wine powder and put into rice (how many kilograms of rice can be brewed in a bag of rice wine powder). After fully stirring, flatten the rice, then sprinkle some wine powder water and use it cleanly.

3, into the nest, this step is also a key step. First of all, you need to find some waste cotton wool and blankets, put them in a big basin to make a nest for holding wine jars, put the wine jars in the nest, cover them with white cloth, and finally completely wrap the wine jars with warm-keeping materials (waste cotton wool, etc.). ), and put it in the room for a couple (24 hours) to open dimples.

At this time, after the wine leaves the nest, it is not yet time to make wine. At this time, it is necessary to find a big jar, put all the fermented wine into the jar, and then seal it for a month or two before brewing. Some people also add glutinous rice wine or dried sweet potatoes before storage. The brewing process still needs many processes.

1. Pour the fermented wine into a large pot, add a proper amount of boiling water, put a steamer for brewing on the pot (the upper and lower ends are empty, and there will be a paddle-like board in the middle of the steamer, which is scored and flows to the end of the board-leading to the outside of the steamer), put a small pot on the steamer, add cold water to the pot, and finally wet it.

After the rice wine in the pot is boiled, there will be hot air rising up. When you meet a small pot on a steamer, it will condense into water drops. When the water drops to a certain extent, they will fall down and flow to the end along the carved board. At this time, you need to use a wine jar at the end to flow out along the wine. Generally speaking, the alcohol content of the first pot of water will be relatively high, and it can even be ignited. After the water in the small pot above the steamer is hot, the speed of wine will be slow. At this time, it is necessary to scoop out the water in the small pot and pour it out, then change it into cold water, and so on. Generally, one pot of distiller's grains can brew three to five pots of water (the small pot above). Of course, the specific amount of each time needs to be determined according to the size of the pot.

After the wine is brewed, we just need to find the relevant wine bottles and seal them, so that the brewed wine is the grain wine that we have never drunk in our hometown.
