Rebirth of Pig Raising in the Countryside

Chapter 89
Everything in the pig farm is developing rapidly, and a cart of pigs is sent to the pig farm every day.

The breeding of sows is no different from that of ordinary commercial pigs, so there is no problem for Liu Xiaoming to hire six workers.

In seven days, half of the entire pig farm has been closed.

Every day, the corn feed and bran decreased like running water. Every time Liu Xiaoming went to the warehouse, he felt terrified.

Today, the first pot of wine is about to start steaming, that is to say, Liu Xiaoming's winery will produce wine today.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoming was still a little excited.So, at three o'clock, Liu Xiaoming got up and came to the winery.

At this time, Xu Anguo, Xu Mancang and Zhou Chaofeng inside were already sweating profusely.

When Liu Xiaoming came, Xu Anguo just finished the box.Different from the past few days, when the box was ready a few days ago, the corn was not poured in to cook. Instead, the fermented corn was taken out of the fermentation vat not far away and poured into the Zhuo vat.

"Boss Liu is here. We have to get up early today. You will be the first to drink the first vat of wine."

After the words fell, Liu Xiaoming's face was full of joy.

"Okay, let me taste the wine brewed by Master Xu today."

"Don't worry, Boss Liu will not be disappointed."

After finishing speaking, let the two people in Mancang add distiller's grains into the vat.

After the corn is fermented in the fermenter, it is not possible to heat all the corn in the fermenter at once when making wine. It should be done slowly, as long as the wine steam does not leak out.

In this way, it can ensure that all the alcohol in each grain of fermented corn comes out, which is also a small detail to increase production.Ordinary people don't know, they can only find out by the master who has been dealing with wine for many years.

Slowly, the smell of alcohol appeared in the room.

"Chaofeng, quickly take a dustpan and pour in the wine lees."

Hearing this, Zhou Chaofeng hurriedly brought over the dustpan installed next to the fermentation tank and poured it in.

Waiting for the heat to come up over and over again, and going into the distiller's grains over and over again.

After it was all poured, the entire Zhuo vat was more than half full at this moment.

"Okay, start to put the lid on, and then connect the steam pipe."

Hearing this, Zhou Chaofeng and the two of them brought over a large white aluminum cover with a large air outlet channel on it.There's also a groove on it that looks like a wizard's hat.

After it was covered, a tube made of aluminum skin was brought over, about the thickness of a thigh.There is a ninety-degree corner at each end.

At this time, I saw Xu Anguo inserting one end of the pipe into the channel opening on the cover, and inserting the other end into the condensation cylinder that had been fixed in the condensation pool for a long time.

After inserting it, Xu Anguo also poured clean water into the two grooves.Liu Xiaoming stood beside Zhuo Guan, watching Xu Anguo's operation like a curious baby.

"Master Xu, does this mean that the wine will be out soon?"

"Yes, there is wine coming out right away. The steam enters the condensation tank through the pipe, and then turns into liquid through cold water. This is wine."

"Oh."

The first time he saw these, Liu Xiaoming was very surprised and kept waiting beside the Zhuo jar.

Sure enough, not long after, a strong smell of wine appeared in the winery.Then, a stream of clear liquid flowed out from the water outlet below the condensation pool.

"This is the wine, it's amazing."

At this time, Liu Xiaoming thought it was necessary to use a tank for wine.Unexpectedly, what Xu Anguo brought was a basin.

"Master Xu, you will not use this thing to fill the bar. Although it is the first time to brew, the output will not be so bad."

Hearing this, not only Xu Anguo laughed, but also Zhou Chaofeng and Xu Mancang beside him laughed.Looking at the three laughing, Liu Xiaoming was puzzled.In the end, it was Xu Mancang who helped explain.

"Boss Liu, you are talking in layman's terms, and most people know it. Now, the wine that comes out is the worst, with all kinds of strange smells in it, so the wine at this time will affect the taste of the wine. Generally speaking, as long as you pay attention to the taste Every winery in the world has to bottle the first-time wine.”

"so."

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoming also felt his ignorance.

"Then what should I do with the one that came out, should it be dumped?"

"Of course not, put it aside and seal it. When the second wine is brewed the next day, just pour it in."

While talking, I saw Xu Anguo bring out a small half pot of wine.Then, immediately put a large wine barrel next to it down, and then put a clean towel on the mouth of the barrel.

"What does it mean."

Liu Xiaoming didn't understand why a towel was placed.

"This is for filtering. There will be some oil in the wine that has just become liquid. In this way, the oil is filtered with a towel."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, he saw some oil stains on the towel.

"I didn't expect it, it's going to be like this."

At this time, the smell of wine in the winery filled the air, and Liu Xiaoming took a deep breath.I just feel that there is really no way to compare the bottled wine I drank before with this fragrance.

"Master Xu, what is the alcohol content of the wine now?"

“The wine that just comes out now is about 73 degrees, and you can’t drink it now because the alcohol content is too high.

73 degrees of wine, after you ignite it, nothing will burn. "

When he heard 73 degrees, Liu Xiaoming was also secretly speechless.With this degree, no one would dare to drink too much.

"Then after we brew the wine, do we need to add water?"

Liu Xiaoming's words were reasonable, but they were rejected by Xu Anguo.

"Boss Liu, I think you are a very good person. I will tell you today. After the wine is brewed, you can't mix it with water. Although, the taste is much better after adding water.

However, this kind of wine cannot be left.Originally, wine tastes better the longer it is kept, but after you mix it with water, it will taste bad if you keep it for a long time.Time is sour.

If you're selling to people who drink heavily, there's nothing wrong with them drinking it up in a few days. But if you're selling to people who store it, it's a shame. "

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming nodded, that's the reason.

"Then how do we lower the alcohol content? No one dares to drink such a high alcohol content."

"Don't worry, Boss Liu, you'll know later."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming continued to watch patiently.For grain wine, the taste is the best at 58 to [-] degrees.

However, in this way, the output will drop, and the price will increase.

For bulk wine, if the price is too high, no one will buy it.As time passed by, the large wine vat, which could hold thousands of kilograms of wine, was half filled with wine.

I saw Xu Anguo brought two clean white bowls, and then poured a handful of white wine into the wine jar.

Then, pour it back and forth in the two bowls.

"Boss Liu is optimistic, this is called flushing flowers. When the wine is quickly poured into another bowl, there will be hops on it. Look at it now, all of them are big hops, which proves that the wine in the jar Above 58 degrees."

After finishing speaking, Xu Anguo handed the bowl in his hand to Liu Xiaoming to see.Indeed, it is covered with a layer of big hops.

"Now, Boss Liu should know how to reduce the degree."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming is an idiot if he doesn't understand.It turned out that the water used to steam wine in this pot is a good thing to reduce the degree.This kind of thing is called tail water in this industry.

The tail water is after the alcohol smell in the grain is basically gone.A kind of water that evaporated with the fire, it is said that the water still smells like wine.

It's just that the taste is very thin.

Tail water is the favorite of many rural people.Why, it is the best to soak sauerkraut in this kind of water.No matter how long you soak it, there will be no mold in the sauerkraut jar.

In the high-grade wine, although this kind of tail water is added, the taste will be a bit worse at the beginning.However, no matter how long the wine is kept, the taste will only get better and better without any deterioration.

With the addition of tail water, the degree of wine in the jar is getting lower and lower.After brewing the hops for the last time, Xu Anguo opened the wine spout.

Then, continue steaming in a pool on the side.The already somewhat cloudy water continues to flow out, which means distiller's grains are being steamed.

Only after the distiller's grains are steamed until most of the water in them is lost, can the distiller's grains in the vat be reserved for the next time as a blending of distiller's grains.

"Boss Liu, now is the time for you to take a sip and taste how it tastes."
