Chapter 859: . Sweet potato wine fragrance (5/5)


Wang Bo and his party were preparing to start brewing wine. Atulu was indeed a better expert. He first asked: "Boss, have you fermented sweet potatoes? Don't tell me that everyone is here today to ferment sweet potatoes."
"Uh, do you want to ferment sweet potatoes in advance?" Wang Bo asked humbly.
Atulu showed what ghost expression you were talking about: "How to make wine without fermentation? Do you want to directly distill? The sweet potato water distilled is not sweet potato wine!"
That Qingyang waved his hand and said, "Don't ask the boss, he doesn't know, I prepared these things, and I also prepared the fermented sweet potatoes, all in the warehouse in the outer court."
Wang Bo asked in surprise: "When did you prepare?"
"After asking you where the sweet potato reserve is, I started to prepare." Qingyang laughed.
"How do you do this?" Wang Bo was still very interested in this.
That Qingyang introduced: "It's very simple. Cut the sweet potatoes and dry them, then steam and mix them. The last one is the koji. But there is no koji in New Zealand. They have baking powder. They are sold in this supermarket. You can buy them . "
"There are a lot of baking powders, which is a loophole in the government," Hani said.
New Zealand has strict controls on spirits. Many people make white spirits by themselves, and winemaking requires baking powder, so the thing that is sold in New Zealand is hot.
After fermentation, the starch in the sweet potato juice has been converted into alcohol, and now as long as it is distilled, it is sweet potato wine.
That Qingyang said that this process is called cooking and steaming. Put the fermented sweet potato material in a steaming barrel and add water to cook.
Wang Bo said that he didn't see that you still had the ability, then Qingyang laughed, and said that his grandfather was doing this in his hometown. They had a winery, selling sorghum wine, sweet potato wine, corn wine, and so on.
In the outer court, Qingyang took out the sealed wooden barrels.
Seeing that his head was full of blue muscles, Atulu went up with one hand, and said easily, "This is very light, why do you show that?"
After that, he laughed aloud.
The Pharaoh went up with one hand and picked up two wooden barrels at the same time, and said, "It's really light, Aturu came to learn from me."
Māori stopped talking, and walked towards the kitchen dimly.
Hani laughed: "Boss, you are such a badass, don't give up a chance to establish your prestige, like a gangster."
"Changing your sentence, you can call me a tyrant." Pharaoh pretended to shiver, "You are such a badass", this is usually said between lovers.
There are stoves in the kitchen, and white people are not born with gas stoves. They also have earth stoves, but unlike the domestic style, which is a large pot, it is flat, and the steamer is raised upwards to steam bread.
The castle has multiple kitchens. Wang Bo now uses the main kitchen. In the past, these families had many staff. The kitchen has an area of ​​four or five hundred square meters, just like a playground.
Before the kitchen was empty, he was not used to it. Now he is used to such a large area. When he returns to the small kitchen, he is not used to it.
However, he transformed the kitchen into an Eva's bakery. There are various bread baking machines, ovens and the like, which occupy hundreds of square meters of space, so it seems that the kitchen is not so empty.
The cooktop has never been used, not many people in the castle, and you do n’t need such a large cooktop for cooking a large pot.
This time, it can be used for distilling sweet potato wine. Qingyang said, "Unfortunately, there is no earthen pot in my hometown. That is most suitable. This stove is large and the distillation speed is not very fast."
Wang Bo took the wooden box he brought up and found that it was the right size. He was suddenly surprised: "Is there any standard for selling this stuff online?"
Qingyang shrugged and said, "Oh, I didn't buy it online. The pot is. I asked Dayan to help me make it by hand. I measured the size."
Wang Bo suddenly felt that it was good to have an excellent carpenter in the town.
First you have to put the pot, because the cooktop has a flat bottom, you can only support the pot, put firewood under it, and it can be used.
That Qingyang and Atulu were busy cleaning the pot, Wang Bo looked at the wooden box.
From the outside, this is an ordinary wooden box, but when you look inside the box, you will find the difference.
The cover of the wooden box is independent and can be moved freely. The bottom of the box is made of two wooden boards, and a groove is formed at the splicing of the wooden boards. A half-cut bamboo tube is buckled on the groove.
"Why is this used?" He asked strangely.
Atulu looked up and shook his head, "I don't understand."
That Qingyang said: "This is the practice in our hometown. I asked my grandfather for advice before making a drawing. In the past, farmers wrapped the ripe sweet potatoes in boxes and then pressed them down with the lid. The liquor will flow into the groove along the seam, and then flow out of the box to get sweet potato wine. "
Hani exclaimed: "Amazing wisdom!"
Wang Bo shouted. He knew that this was just a routine compliment. China's development in modern times is really lackluster, and it is more famous internationally for ancient history and ancient inventions.
So, with the Chinese people mentioning some ancient Chinese inventions, the New Zealanders will praise something brilliant and whimsical.
The sweet potato is fermented, and after pouring into the iron pot, it has a strong flavor of wine, and also has a sour flavor. The two flavors have not merged, and the taste is not very good.
Seeing Wang Bo frowning, Qingyang laughed and said, "It's the taste after fermentation. In fact, it's already good, a little scent, otherwise the sour smell can just teach people."
Ignite the fire, and the fire quickly ignites with the help of a hair dryer.
Throwing pieces of firewood into it, only ten minutes later, the steam filled out.
The smell of wine in the steam will cause waste, but it is inevitable that alcohol volatilizes much faster than water.
But more wine slowly poured down the bamboo tube.
There is a layer of ice inside the bamboo tube, which can cool the gas into wine.
Wang Bo asked: "Isn't this diluting the wine?"
That Qingyang shook her head and said, "The sweet potato wines have lower degrees, so they taste better. They are not hard liquors."
The sweet potato wine flowing out is pale yellow in color and somewhat cloudy, similar to the original beer.
Eva came to the kitchen for a routine baking, smelled the wine and asked with a smile, "Are you making wine?"
At this time, there is already a small barrel of sweet potato wine, about five or six hundred milliliters.
Aturu poured it out and poured a glass for Eva first: "Lady, come and try, I bet this is the best sweet potato wine you have ever had!"
"I'm welcome." Eva gave a small smile. She took the crystal cup and took a small sip, her red lips swiped across the cup, she had her own style. (To be continued.) Mobile users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
