Chapter 144 The Birth of Barley Liquor
When Donn made the wine koji, Durant, Cloto and the dwarves around him kept staring at him, but...
They can't understand.┞┠═.[.c(o{m{
However, because they couldn't understand, they became even more curious.
It seems that what he is doing has nothing to do with making wine, but after seeing Tang En get those things out, he looks relieved. Doesn’t it mean that what he is doing now has something to do with making wine...
So they looked more focused.
Tang En didn't care about them and continued to get busy.
The wine koji is in place, and the next step is to use magic to fully steam the barley, then move it into the fermentation pond, sprinkle the newly cultivated koji and start to saccharify and ferment.
If it is normal fermentation, it will take at least two or three days, and then it will be moved into the fermentation tank for secondary sealing fermentation. However, with the help of nora, it will be completely different.
The little guy's life force can completely catalyze this process and allow the fermentation to be completed in just a short time.
【Nora, help.】
【Okay, how to do it?】
[Just give me the power to control.]
Tang En once again took advantage of the power of Nora to start catalytic fermentation. At the same time, the mage's hand kept flipping the steamed barley, allowing the wine koji and barley to be fully mixed. Under the catalytic of the life force, the cooled barley began to ferment again. After the time was almost the same, Tang En directly wrapped all the barley with magic power, completely isolated from the air, and then catalyzed fermentation again.
The secondary fermentation process is relatively long, but under the influence of Nora, it only took less than an hour to complete, and at this time, it was only noon.
When Tang En opened a gap and smelled the strong smell of alcohol emitted from inside, he finally smiled.
It is already OK to ferment this level. If you don’t steam the wine and continue to ferment it, it will soon turn into vinegar.
So Tang En removed Nora's life force. ┞Origin ┝══╞. ". Move the fermented barley into the wine steamer, connect it to the condenser and start steaming the wine.
Due to the convenient magic power, the steps of steaming wine are not as complicated as those on earth. Both water flow and flame Tangen can control it very accurately. The condenser has a great effect under the action of ice magic.
When the boiling steam passes through the grain and takes away the alcohol, the wine soon begins to flow out from the condensate tube next to it.
This pot steamed about 100 kilograms of barley. Although the wine production rate of barley on earth is between 30% and 40%, it is almost impossible to produce 40% pure wine. What was steamed later faded out. Tang En tasted the wine that was finally steamed here, and it looked like more than 30 degrees. Finally, it steamed out in the end, with more than 40 kilograms of pure wine, which was astonishingly high!
Tang En fermented a lot of barley at the beginning, so he simply steamed it all in one breath and finally got more than 450 kilograms of barley white wine, of course, it can also be called barley soju.
Smelling the barley soju that had just steamed out and had the aroma of grain, Tang En began to swallow, not to mention the dwarfs with good wine around him. They stretched their necks and stared straight, their eyes and leaned forward hard, and their noses sucked the aroma of wine in the air.
Tang En is not a good wine person, but he would occasionally drink some white wine when attending some parties. However, since he tried to steam white wine himself, he saw the so-called pure grain wine sold on the market and laughed.
A real pure grain wine can be tasted just by smelling it and it can be tasted. It is like barley wine. It smells like a strong wheat fragrance, and it feels more comfortable and gentle when you drink it in your mouth. This is how pure grain wine should be.
And those so-called pure grain wines sold on the market? If you don’t add industrial alcohol to you, you will be considered conscience...
Duranton and Cloto next to him were shocked when they saw that Done actually steamed the wine in the end. And it was a wine that he had never seen before.
Smelling the strong smell of wheat, the wine worm in Durant's belly was hooked up, and he looked at Tang En with a gaze: "Tang En. What kind of wine is this? It smells so fragrant?"
Tang En smiled faintly: "The one brewed with barley is of course barley wine, but this is barley white wine, which is different from beer."
"Barley white wine... can I try it?"
"Of course, but you're so drunk, you-"
Before Durandon could finish Tang En's words, he picked up the spoon next to him and scooped it into his mouth.
The next moment, Durant widened his eyes and almost sprayed out the wine from his mouth. But I wonder if it was because he was reluctant to let it go, so he tried it back, and swallowed it after savoring it for a while.
Then he stayed there, his face quickly turned red.
"Can you give me some taste?"
Croto is not an alcoholic, but he is happy to try something new.
"sure."
Tang En gave him some wine and smiled and said, "Drink slowly to taste the taste."
Cloto took a sip first and frowned, as if it was a little difficult to accept the smell. After a while, he took another sip. This time, he finally tasted the strong smell of wheat inside, closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while before drinking it.
"It's hard to describe, the entrance feels very...soft, completely different from beer, but it's like a ball of fire, very powerful, more exciting than lava beer..."
Tang En took a sip himself, shook his head and said, "The mouth is soft, a thread of throat."
"I don't understand, but the entrance is indeed quite soft, and the rich barley aroma is very good. Can you take some away?"
Cloto seemed to fall in love with barley white wine and asked Donne for a small pot.
"Be careful, this thing catches fire easily."
Tang En advised him, I don’t know if the barley and Aspergillus here in Plandal are domineering or the life force of Nora is too abnormal, and the barley fermentation is very powerful, so the wine steamed is also very high. From the feeling at the entrance, the degree may be sixty or seventy degrees.
"This wine, this wine is really... great!"
At this time, Durant finally came to his senses and rushed over and grabbed Don En's hand.
Don En looked at Durandon for no reason, making Durandon extremely embarrassed.
Duranton coughed dryly and said seriously: "Brother," said Damn..."
"Wait! Your dad Brian calls me a big brother, do you call me a big brother too?"
Duranden chuckled: "Oh, it doesn't matter, everyone is a family, right?"
"Don't hide it if you have something to say - can you let go of your hands first? It feels weird."
Durant let go of Don Eun and said with a dry smile: "That Don Eun, can you leave some of these wines for me?"
"Let's talk about it later."
Tang En rolled his eyes in anger, and then said to Groca next to him: "I've been waiting for a long time."
Groca swallowed, but deliberately made a disdainful expression on her face: "Is it finally ready? It's over soon and I can go for lunch!"
"Please."
Tang En handed the barrel over with a smile. He was very mean. The barrel of wine was the most fragrant and the biggest wine.
"Hmph, you're sure to lose!"
Groca looked disdainful, but couldn't wait to take the barrel.
Tang En was speechless. Are the dwarves so arrogant and arrogant?
"Hmph, let me try this so-called barley white wine you made."
Groca opened the lid, and the strong aroma of wine that had disappeared spread out again. The dwarves around him watched Groca enjoy a bucket of new wine, but they could only watch it, not to mention how envious they were.
"Gudu" Groca swallowed again. After just a few hours, the beer she had drunk had been discharged and the alcohol was completely gone. Now that he suddenly smelled such an alternative and strong aroma of wine, he could hardly control his urge, and he tilted his head and started drinking!
Win...
Seeing Groca's attitude of drinking, Tang En smiled inexplicably. These dwarves were used to drinking beer and had no idea how powerful white wine was. Moreover, it was a wine head that was over 70 degrees. It would be strange if he didn't get drunk in this way.
As expected, just as Tang En expected, after taking a few sips, Groca suddenly put down the barrel, and all the wine in her mouth was sprayed out, and she began to breathe rapidly, her face turned red with a visible degree of naked eyes.
Tang En said with a smile: "How? Have you admitted defeat?"
"Hu, Wu said! Great, the people of the earth never give in and will not admit defeat!"
Groca roared with his neck, but he didn't even notice that his tongue was getting bigger. Not only did he stutter, but his feet also began to rush.
Tang En shrugged and made a gesture of asking for help.
After resting for a while, Groca gritted her teeth, grabbed the barrel again, and raised her head and shouted loudly under the gaze of all the dwarves!
But after only a few sips, he couldn't hold on anymore. When his hands were soft, the barrel slipped out and rolled under the platform. He poked the hornet's nest. The dwarfs who had been drooling under the platform immediately started to snatch up. At this time, he didn't care whether the brothers and sisters were around him, and he fought desperately to drink a sip of fresh wine.
"Everyone goes away! That's mine! It's mine!"
"Get out! I obviously got it first!"
"Damn it! You took it from me!"
"Damn I'm going to duel with you-I just tasted a little bit!"
"At least you tasted it! I was stolen as soon as I got it - who kicked my ass while the bastard!?"
There was a riot under the platform, but Durant had no intention of stopping it. He pointed at Groca and suddenly laughed wildly: "Ah hahahaha-Groca, you have today too!? Look, Drunkard champion Groca is finally drunk!"
There was a silence under the platform, and everyone looked at Groca in unison. No, he was completely unstable and his body was shaking. If he hadn't been holding the wine barrel next to him, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.
But soon, their attention returned to the half barrel of wine and started snatching it up again. (To be continued.)
