Things from Another World

Chapter 144: Birth of barley liquor

While Down was making the tune, Durandon, Croto and the dwarves around him kept staring, but ...

They don't understand.

However, just because they couldn't understand, they became more curious.

It seems that what he is doing has nothing to do with winemaking, but after seeing Tang En get those things out, he is relieved, does it mean that what he is doing is very related to winemaking ...

So they looked more focused.

Tang En didn't care about them and kept busy.

The koji is in place. The next step is to use the magic to fully steam the barley, then move it into the fermentation tank, and sprinkle the freshly cultivated daqu to start saccharification and fermentation.

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 a second sealed fermentation, but with the help of Nora, it is completely different.

The life force of this little guy can catalyze this process and let the fermentation be completed in a short period of time.

[Nora, help. 】

[Okay, what should I do? 】

[Just give me control. 】

Tang En relied on the power of Nora to start the catalytic fermentation. At the same time, the mage's hand kept turning the steamed barley to fully stir the koji and barley. Under the catalysis of life force, the barley that had been soaked again Started the heat fermentation. After waiting for a while, Tang En directly wrapped all the barley with magic power, completely isolated from the air, and then catalyzed the fermentation again.

The process of secondary fermentation 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 just before noon.

When Tang En opened a gap and smelled the strong alcohol smell inside, he finally smiled.

Fermentation to this extent is already possible. If you continue to ferment without steaming the wine, it will soon become vinegar.

So Tang En revoked Nora's life force, moved the fermented barley into the steamer, connected the condenser, and started steaming.

Due to the convenient magic power, the steps of steaming wine are not as complicated as on the earth. Both the water flow and the flame can be controlled very accurately. The condenser is even more effective under the action of ice magic.

When the boiling steam passed through the grain and took away the alcohol, the wine soon began to flow out of the condensing tube next to it.

About 100 pounds of barley is steamed in this pot. Although the barley yield rate on the earth is also between 30% and 40%, it is almost impossible to produce 40% pure wine. Bird, Tang En tasted the last steamed wine here, it still looks more than 30 degrees, and finally steamed out, there are more than 40 pounds of pure wine, the output rate is amazing!

Tang En began fermenting a lot of barley, and steamed it all at once, and finally got more than 450 kilograms of barley liquor, which can also be called barley shochu.

Smelling the barley shochu that had just been steamed and smelling of grain, Tang En began to swallow, not to mention the dwarves around the good wine, one by one, with his neck stretched and his eyes straightened, trying to move forward. The nose sucked at the scent of wine in the air.

Tang En is not a good wine person, but he occasionally drank some white wine at some parties, but since he tried steaming the white wine himself, he saw the so-called pure grain wines on the market. .

The real pure grain wine just smells, and you can drink it with one taste. Just like this barley wine, it smells like a thick barley aroma. It is more comfortable and soft when you drink it. Pure grain wine should be like this .

And what are the so-called pure grain wines on the market? Even if you do n’t mix industrial alcohol with your conscience ...

Durandon and Croto next to him saw that Tang En really steamed out the wine, and they were still stunned.

Smelling the strong smell of wheat, Duranton's stomach was hooked, and he stared at Tang En: "Tang En, what kind of wine is this?"

Tang En smiled lightly: "It is made of barley, of course, it is barley wine, but this is barley white wine, different from beer."

"Barley liquor ... can I try it?"

"Of course you can, but this wine is great, you—"

Durandon didn't wait for Tang En to finish, then picked up the spoon next to it and poured it into his mouth.

The next moment, Durandon's eyes widened and he almost squirted out the liquor in his mouth, but he didn't know if it was because he was unwilling. He actually stung back again and swallowed after a moment of taste in his mouth.

Then he stayed there, his face quickly turning red.

"Can you give me some taste?"

Croto was not an alcoholic, but he was happy to try something new.

"of course can."

Tang En gave him a drink and laughed: "Drink slowly to taste."

Croto took a small sip and frowned, and it seemed a bit difficult to accept the taste. After a while, he took another sip. This time, he finally tasted the thick wheat in it. The scent smelled, closed my eyes and enjoyed for a while before drinking.

"It's hard to describe. The feeling at the entrance is ... soft and completely different from beer, but swallowing is like a fire, very powerful and more exciting than lava beer ..."

Tang En himself took a sip and shook his head and said, "The entrance is soft, a throat."

"I don't understand, but the entrance is really soft, and the rich barley aroma is very good. Can you take me away?"

Croto seemed to be in love with barley liquor and asked Tang En for a small pot.

"Be careful, this thing can catch fire easily."

Tang En told him, I do n’t know if the barley and Aspergillus here are more overbearing, or Nora ’s life force is too abnormal, and the barley is fermented very much, so the degree of steamed wine is also high, guess from the feeling of the entrance. , I am afraid that there are sixty or seventy degrees.

"This wine, this wine is ... awesome!"

At this time, Durandon finally came back to him and rushed to grab Tang En's hand.

Tang En looked at Durandon somehow, and looked awkwardly at Durandon.

Durandon coughed, and said solemnly: "Speaking of big brother ..."

"Wait! Your dad, Brian, calls me my big brother, and you call me my big brother?"

Durandon laughed, "Hey, it doesn't matter, everyone is a family ..."

"If you have something to say, don't hide it-can you let go of your hand first? It feels weird."

Durandon let go of Tang En and said with a smile: "That Tang En, can you keep some of this wine for me?"

"Let's talk later."

Tang En rolled his eyes with annoyance, and then said to Gorka next to him, "It's been a long time."

Groka swallowed his mouth, but deliberately made a disdainful expression on his face: "Finally all right? Hurry up and I can go to lunch!"

"please."

Tang En smiled and handed the barrel over, he was very bad-hearted, that barrel is the most fragrant and the largest head.

"Hum, you lose!"

Groka looked disdainful, but couldn't wait to take the barrel.

Tang En is speechless. Are dwarves so deadly and arrogant?

"Well, let me try to see what you call the so-called barley liquor."

Groka opened the lid, and the scent of the strong wine that had already disappeared was emitted again. The dwarfs around looked at Groka to enjoy a bucket of new wine exclusively, but they could only watch, not to mention more. Envious.

"Grumbling" Gorka swallowed again. After just a few hours, the beer that had been drunk before had been drained, and the wine was completely gone. Now I suddenly smelled such an alternative wine with strong aroma. He could hardly restrain his urge and groaned as soon as he looked up!

Won……

Seeing Groka's drinking situation, Tang En smiled inexplicably. These dwarves are used to drinking beer. They don't know how powerful the liquor is, and this is still over 70 degrees. This way of drinking It's strange not to be drunk.

Sure enough, Tang En expected, without taking a few sips, Groka suddenly put down the barrel, and the liquid in his mouth was sprayed out, and he began to pant quickly, his face turning red with the speed visible to the naked eye one slice.

Tang En smiled and said, "How? Did you lose?"

"Nonsense, nonsense! The people of the earth and the earth never, never give up!"

Groka yelled around her neck, but he didn't notice that his tongue was big, and not only he stuttered, but his feet began to drift.

Tang En shrugged and gestured please.

After Groca rested for a moment, he bit his teeth, grabbed the barrel again, and drank with all the dwarves watching!

But after just a few sips, he couldn't hold it. As soon as his hands were soft, the barrel slipped out, and he grumbled under the table, but this time he stomped the horse honeycomb, and the dwarf under the table had drool Suddenly hesitated. At this time, he didn't care if the brothers and sisters were beside him, desperately vying for barrels just for a new drink.

"It all flickered! It was mine! It was mine!"

"Get away! I obviously grabbed it first!"

"Damn! You took it from me!"

"Damn, I'm going to fight you-I just tasted a little bit!"

"How are you? I was taken away as soon as I got it-who the **** kicked my **** !?"

There was a riot under the table, but Duranden didn't mean to stop it. He pointed at Groka and burst into a wild laugh: "Ahahahaha-Groka, you have today too! Everyone, look, drunk champion grid Rocca is finally drunk! "

There was a moment of silence under the table, everyone looked at Groca together, didn't he? He was completely unsteady, and his body was shaking. If he was not holding the wine barrel next to him, he would have fallen to the ground.

But soon, their attention returned to the half-barrel of wine again and snatched up again.
