Chapter 197: Winemaking

There are two ways to make sweet potato wine, both of which were made when Shixiong was in school.

A sweet potato wine is a low-alcohol wine, that is, it is not distilled after it is brewed. This sweet potato wine has a low alcohol content and is sweet and flavorful. It is more like fruit wine than white wine.

As for another kind of sweet potato wine, it is an out-and-out high-level wine, because this wine needs to be distilled after it is brewed. The distilled white wine is the kind of "boring donkey" that can hold you up for a long time.

But no matter what kind of wine is brewed, it is inseparable from the process of one steaming, two stirring and three fermentation.

If brewing low-alcohol raw sweet potato wine, the first process is steaming sweet potato.

Cut the selected sweet potatoes into pieces and steam them in a large pot. After the local melons are steamed, they are spread out to about 60 degrees Celsius, and then the koji is added for saccharification. This time needs to last from a day to a day and a half.

After the saccharification is completed, put the saccharified sweet potato puree and distiller's koji into a large tank and stir. Stir once a day. After a few days of continuous stirring, start low-temperature fermentation at a temperature of about 20 degrees.

The fermentation process needs to last about fifteen to twenty days. Since it is early spring and the temperature is still relatively low, the fermentation time should be longer. The specific situation should be judged according to the degree of fermentation.

Finally, the fermented mash is taken out for squeezing and filtering, and what is filtered out is the raw sweet potato wine with a relatively low degree.

This raw sweet potato wine is best stored in earthenware or porcelain barrels. The longer it is stored, the more delicious the wine will be.

As for the high degree of boring donkey, the overall brewing situation is similar to the process of brewing sweet potato raw wine, but there is an additional process of mixing chaff and distillation.

The steamed sweet potatoes are fermented with koji, and after the fermentation is complete, the chaff is mixed. Add 15 kg of rice husks or wheat bran to 100 catties of sweet potatoes and stir. After stirring, add 60 catties to 100 catties of sweet potatoes. The clear water pot for cooking and steaming.

When steaming, the liquor that flows out through the condenser tube is a high degree of sweet potato wine, with a high degree of about fifty degrees. If you still want a high number, then distill it again, and the wine will be a spirit with a degree of more than 70 degrees. The common name of this kind of wine in Shixiong's hometown is Boring Donkey.

There is no shortage of sweet potatoes in the tribe, especially the stone bear extorting 30,000 pounds of food from the French, and even the 50,000 pounds of food traded with Major Hank. Now the entire Gaoshu tribe is not short of food at all. So the sweet potatoes that used to be rations can be used at will.

There are also a lot of koji, although there is no rice husk, but there is still a lot of wheat bran.

So Shi Xiong decided to make raw sweet potato wine and stuffed donkey together.

I heard that Lord Guardian is about to start making wine, and almost all the people who can move in the tribe have come.

No way, the tribes and even the entire Cherokee people didn’t know how to make wine. If they hadn’t been in contact with this magical liquid, it would be fine. But as the Europeans continued to land on the New World, these Europeans took this magic The liquid was brought to the New World, allowing the Indians living here to taste this miraculous liquid, and then all the Indians who were lucky enough to taste the wine were completely conquered by this miraculous liquid.

In the words of a large Indian tribe’s great sacrifice, this magical liquid is the essence that the gods bestow on mankind-the **** of fire in the sky met the **** of water in the sea, and the two gods fell in love and united. Then the child born has both the characteristics of fire and water, and the child’s name is "wine"—isn’t it the essence? Other gods took out all his own children...

Thanks to their friendship with the British, the Cherokee people came into contact with wine after they moved south to the Appalachian Mountains. Although the wine was inferior and inferior, the Cherokee still disliked it. Mouthful.

Later, the ancestor of the High Priest Kabru left the royal court of the Cherokee family and came here. Although there was a long time interval and did not trade with the British, but after the exchange with the British resumed, the magical liquid appeared again. In the Gaoshu tribe.

However, wine is very precious, even the inferior wine in Europe is extremely precious among Indian tribes. Just like the four pounds worth of whiskey that Colonel Jones asked Hank to bring, if Major Hank really insists on changing it, a bottle of wine can really be exchanged for a hundred **** skins.

Now on the European continent, a good **** skin can sell for five shillings or even six shillings, and a hundred **** skins can sell at least five hundred shillings, which is a full twenty-five. GBP.

More than 600% of the net profit is the profit space for European drinks in the New World.

Although the Indians also knew that they had been slaughtered by the Vasicchus, but there was no way, who would make them like to drink this kind of thing. So knowing that they were slaughtered, they still happily exchanged the fur from their hunting for wine.

Now, the guardian of the tribe is about to start making wine by himself. Are the people in the Gaoshu tribe still crazy?

Everyone knows that once the Lord Guardian really brews the wine, then the tribe will be free from the exploitation of those Wasichus in the future. It's as if the guardian made salt and made steel.

At that time, I am afraid it is not the Vasichus who exploit themselves again, I am afraid those Vasichus will have to beg us.

As the "project manager" designated by Shixiong for brewing music, Momocao was naturally the first to be notified.

Shi Xiong still appreciates this hardworking and cheerful woman. Although this lady is really a female man, no matter what she does, there is a woman's unique delicacy and attentiveness.

Momocao was mainly responsible for the production of Jiuqu, but the second time to turn the song and the monitoring of the temperature in the koji room were all done by Momocao with a few women.

The koji produced for the first time was very successful, and Shixiong admitted that even if he stared at it himself, he might be doing something similar to Momocao.

Therefore, Shixiong still intends to let Momocao take care of the brewing matter.

"Master Guardian, do you really want to teach us how to make wine?" After Momocao was called, and after learning that he would become the person in charge of the brewing project, he asked Shixiong with a face of disbelief and surprise.

"Why? Not willing to do this? Then I find someone else to do it well?"

"Don't! I will learn from you, and I promise to learn it. Don't you see that the koji I made before is very successful? I have the confidence to learn how to make wine with you."

The female man patted his chest to speak, and the huge weapon on her chest was swayed straight by her, with a bit spicy eyes...

"Ahem..." Shixiong coughed dryly, "Well, Momocao, you can find a few women who are careful in doing things. Although making wine is much simpler than making koji, it is also necessary in the process of wine making. Someone takes care of it carefully. And I plan to teach the people the craftsmanship of wine making. When the people of the people can make wine, you won't have to work so hard."

"Don't worry, I will find a good person."

Mo Mocao put down these words and went out. As a result, she didn't even have the time to eat a meal, so she led more than a dozen women with big waists in.

To say that this Indian woman can really hold up half of the sky, she just has this size. She really is no worse than a man when she goes to the battlefield to be a soldier.

These women are more serious in the tribe. This time I heard that Master Guardian was going to teach the technique of wine making, and two of them all followed Momocao.

They also need to follow along and teach what they have learned to other tribesmen in the tribe.

With the help of these strong women, wine making is much easier.

Shi Xiong commanded the women to select a thousand catties of good sweet potatoes from the cellar. After they were cleaned, they were cut into small pieces and steamed in the pot.

Whether it's salt making or nitration, a big iron pan is needed, so there are a lot of big iron pans. It can't be said that every household has a big iron pan, but it is absolutely no problem to make up ten or eight big iron pans.

This kind of big iron pot can steam a hundred catties of sweet potatoes at one time, and steaming ten large pots at the same time can steam this thousand catties of sweet potatoes in one go.

Because the two kinds of wine are made together, Shixiong plans to make five hundred catties of sweet potato wine, and another five hundred catties of sweet potato wine for distilled wine.

Whether it is brewing raw sweet potato wine or brewing highly distilled wine, it is basically the ratio of three catties of sweet potato to one catty of wine. Therefore, if all these thousand catties of sweet potatoes are brewed, about three hundred and thirty catties of wine can be produced.

If Shi Xiong was allowed to make so much wine by himself, it would have exhausted him.

But with the help of more than a dozen women with big waists, making wine is much easier. The most important thing is that these women are very motivated. Shi Xiong doesn't even need to do it. He just needs to move his mouth to tell them what to do, and these women can do their jobs quickly.

The ten cauldrons were laid out in one word. The scale was not small, and a large group of onlookers also took the initiative to join in. Shi Xiong has no objection to this matter, as long as he doesn't make trouble and follow the instructions, he is eager for more people to join in.

Many tribesmen want to join when they see that Master Guardian is not opposed to ~lightnovelpub.net~. However, the place is so big and the work done is so much. It is useless if there are more people. Therefore, under Shixiong's prevention, the number of people who participated in the winemaking was set at about 30 people.

Some burned fire, some added firewood, and soon the sweet potatoes were steamed.

Then it's spreading and adding the koji. Shixiong can't let others do it casually, only Momocao can do it. However, there is still a lot in the process of adding koji, and Shi Xiong selflessly told his people. In the future, he still counts on the tribesmen to make wine by themselves. Shixiong doesn't want to greet him and add koji every time the tribe makes wine.

One hundred catties of sweet potato Qiliang Jiuqu, this is a very strict addition of weight.

In the past, Shixiong didn’t know how many koji was added when sweet potatoes were used in other places. Perhaps each place was different, but in Shixiong’s hometown, when using sweet potatoes for wine, one hundred catties of sweet potatoes were added with seven taels of koji.

After adding the koji and stirring, it is saccharification and fermentation. Don't worry about this, you have to take your time...
