What is the difference between solid-state fermentation and liquid-state fermentation of liquor?

The difference between solid-state fermentation and liquid-state fermentation of liquor lies in different brewing methods and different raw materials used.

The specific differences between liquor solid-state fermentation and liquid-state fermentation are as follows:

First, the brewing method is different.

Solid state brewing requires more than two cooking times. This method has high fuel cost, high labor intensity and low starch yield, but the wine aroma brewed in this way is full.

Liquid brewing refers to the process of gelatinization, saccharification, fermentation and distillation of raw materials on the basis of liquid fermentation, and all of them are made into liquid liquor. The wine brewed in this way is customarily called new wine.

Second, the materials used are different.

Solid-state fermentation takes grain as raw material, adds distiller's yeast after crushing, naturally ferments for a certain period of time, and then distills at high temperature.

The fermented mash of liquid fermentation is fermented in liquid state.
