Chapter 13: Winemaking

"Okay, Lao Zhao, carry these two jars of wine and follow me! Let's let you see what the real wine is today!" Su Luo smiled and walked to a room first.
This is one of the two small houses. Su Luo opened the door, and Zao Wou-ki followed in. Su Luo arranged it. Zao Wou-ki had never come in. He also wanted to see what the equipment that can brew good wine is what?
The room was very empty. There was a large stove in the middle, which was not burning. On top of it was a large pot made by the blacksmith in Tianluo City. It was similar to a crucible more than ten times the method of the previous life. The output is a circle of nuts.
On the side of the pot, there is a lid with a circle of nuts inside, which can be screwed together with the pot.
In the center of the lid, there is a hole, and there is also a nut, which is screwed to a metal elbow.
"This is your winemaking tool?" Zao Wou-ki looked around and found that there were only these three things in front of him, a little curious and incredible.
"Yes, that's it!" Su Luo nodded, "Lao Zhao, pour a jar of wine into the pot! Well, the wine can be poured into two-thirds of the pot!"
Zao Wou-ki did not hesitate, so he followed Su Luo's words. The merchants in this world were fairly simple. The wine jar was half the height of Su Luo, and he couldn't hug him even when he reached out his hand.
After two-thirds of the pot was poured, Su Luo first screwed the lid and the pot together, then screwed the metal elbow onto the lid, and placed a small pot on the other end of the metal elbow.
Make a fire and cook wine.
Zao Wou-ki watched Su Luo busy, with curiosity. Although he didn't believe that it was possible to brew wine in this way, he didn't say much, can it, wait until Su Luo is finished.
"Lao Zhao, the wines in this world are very turbid. This is not to say that the winemakers are poor, but the world's filtering methods are not high enough to completely settle the wine dregs.
There are residues in the wine, which will naturally become muddy!
As long as these residues are filtered out, among other things, the wine will become very clear, just like clear water. "
Zao Wou-ki listened and nodded. This is the case with wine in this world. There is nothing to say, "You are filtering out the residue in the wine!"
Zao Wou-ki understood what Su Luo meant, but he was very curious. Can he really filter out the residue by boiling it with fire?
"Not only that, you'll know in a while!" Su Luo smiled slightly, not much.
Zao Wou-ki saw that Su Luo deliberately sold the guanzi, and was not angry, so he sat aside and waited quietly. He was looking forward to what kind of wine Su Luo could make. If Su Luo failed, he would taunt him well. As for Su Luo being a child, Zao Wou-ki just wanted to laugh, Su Luo acted like a child in what way?
Soon, the wine in the pot made a boiling sound, Su Luo's eyes lit up, and he ran to the other end of the elbow quickly, and felt the temperature of the elbow with his hand. Only when it was close to the turning point, there was heat.
"Very suitable!" Su Luo raised the corner of his mouth, with a smile in his eyes.
Soon, at the end of the elbow, water began to drip into the small tank. At first it was very slow, just dripping drop by drop, but quickly, the water drop turned into a thin stream of water.
Su Luo replaced it with another small can, picked up the small can of wine, took a sip, spit it directly on the ground, picked up the clean water prepared in advance, and blended it in a certain proportion.
Su Luo took a sip, her face flushed, and a trace of drunkenness appeared in her eyes!
"Old Zhao, come and taste it!" Su Luo shouted at Zao Wou-ki with a smile on his face.
Zao Wou-ki got up, walked in front of Su Luo, glanced at the canister in Su Luo's hand, and took it.
The wine in the small jar was very clear. This was the first time he saw such a clear wine. His eyes were surprised. It was as clear as water!
Not to mention other things, just such a clear drink can be sold at a good price.
Zao Wou-ki drank the wine in the small jar in one sip, but he underestimated the wine, maybe he still thought that the wine was still the original wine, it just became clear.
However, he was as bored as before and choked him directly.
"Ahem~, this wine! This wine! It's so good!" Zao Wou-ki gasped, directly violent.
"How about it, it's a good bar!" Su Luo smiled and blended a small can of wine again.
"This wine is strong enough. Compared with this wine, the previous wine is just plain water!" Zao Wou-ki took down the small can in his hand, picked up the other one, and drank another can directly, "Sweet!"
"In other words, what the is going on is obviously just boiling the original wine to make the wine so delicious!" Zao Wou-ki asked after a long aftertaste.
"It's very simple. Drinks, drinks, all wines are naturally made up of water and alcohol. Directly brewed wines have a large proportion of water, and relatively speaking, the amount of alcohol is small.
There were too many drinks before, so naturally they didn’t taste good enough.
I boiled it over the fire and steamed out the alcohol and water.
When all the alcohol and water are steamed out, the remaining wine residue in the pot can be used to make distiller's grains!
Without the dregs, the wine is naturally clear.
In addition, the boiling points of water and alcohol are different. Alcohol will evaporate first. At this time, the alcohol cannot be drunk, otherwise it will burn the stomach.
If you add water in a certain proportion, you can drink it.
If the previous alcohol content was only 20 degrees, then the current alcohol is estimated to be around forty or fifty degrees!
Oh, don't ask me what is boiling point, I guess you won't understand it after I told you it! "
It seemed that he had seen through Zao Wou-ki's question and blocked it back in one sentence.
This sentence is not to look down on Zao Wou-ki, there is no chemistry in this world, and to teach them the principle of melting point is to play the piano to the cow again!
Zao Wou-ki almost didn't come up in a sigh of relief. In order to comfort himself, he took a small can of wine and drank it.
Su Luo did not ask, but after waiting for a while, he tasted the dripping drink again! The alcohol content has been reduced, which means that the water has been evaporated.
Su Luo took away the last alcohol in the water and used other utensils to catch the evaporated water.
After a long time, Su Luo turned off the heat, waited for the pot to cool completely, opened the lid, poured out the remaining wine dregs, and dried it in the yard.
After that, repeat the previous process to purify the remaining wine.
Two jars of wine bought from outside were purified by Su Luo to make half a jar of alcohol. After that, Su Luo began to blend the wine at a ratio of one to three places. Even so, only one jar plus one third of the new wine was obtained.
Well, now there is only one altar left, and that one-third was drunk by Zao Wou-ki. The first time he drank this kind of wine, Zao Wou-ki drank one third of the altar and drank it directly.
Su Luo had no choice but to fight him directly into the room, put him on the bed and let him sleep!
Su Luo cleared the cauldron again, cleaned up the dust on the bottom of the pot, and went to the kitchen to prepare food.
Soon Su Luo walked out helplessly, the kitchen was empty and there was nothing.
But this is not difficult for Su Luo, hunting, Su Luo will also.
