Chapter 1448 1431. Brewing Beer (35)

Winter is the off-season for tourism in New Zealand. Wang Bo has nothing to do, so he can spend time with his family and prepare for the wedding banquet.

The food on the day of the wedding banquet has been prepared, and Kobe is the head chef. He invited many famous chefs from New Zealand and Australia to jointly be responsible for the food at the wedding.

After the food was settled, there was also the need to deal with drinks, which Sunset Town could not solve. Fortunately, with the backing of the domineering president, Battier could help him find a way to buy a large amount of red wine and white wine.

But compared to white wine and red wine, beer is more in demand at wedding banquets.

Sunset Town can brew its own wine, but it can only brew beer. Among red wine and white wine, good wine needs time to settle, and it is too late for Wang Bo to rush.

He does not lack the raw material grapes for brewing red wine, nor does he lack the raw material food for brewing white wine. The former can be provided by the farm in the small town of Kurau, where he grows a lot of fruits including grapes.

The seeds of these fruits have been soaked in spiritual spring water. Although the fruits grown do not have the heart of the orchard to improve varieties, they are still better than ordinary fruits on the market.

Fortunately, there is still time to brew beer, or in other words, it is too late to prepare, because beer needs to be freshly brewed.

In July, the winter is still cold. Fortunately, there is no heavy snowfall, and the weather is not bad. Every day, the sky is as blue as a sapphire, which makes people feel refreshed.

Wang Bo decided to invest in a beer workshop in a small town. It doesn't need a strong brewing capacity, as long as it can be supplied to the residents of the town.

Of course, the primary goal is to supply the wedding venue. Adrian estimated that about 2,000 liters of beer would be needed on the wedding day.

Wang Bo decided to brew these beers himself. Someone in the town has already brewed beer with Lingquan water, and the final result is not bad.

These results gave Pharaoh confidence. He felt that if he brewed beer himself, it would definitely taste better than what the townspeople wanted to brew.

His confidence is not blind, because the malt used by the townspeople to brew beer is ordinary wheat malt, and Lao Wang has his carefully cultivated beer malt in his hand.

Since last year, the farm has started to grow malt, and the malt has been packed up, just waiting to brew beer before the wedding.

In order to brew good beer, he invited the old tour guide, Hani, Uncle Bing and others to study together, and also invited Adrian.

After receiving the invitation, Adrian went to the beer brewing workshop just opened on the farm, and then looked at the machine inside and was confused: "What is this? Brewing beer?"

Wang Bo smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to brew some beer for the wedding."

Adrian smiled wryly: "Although I'm happy to help you, Wang, I really don't know much about this. Of course, if I come to taste wine, I should be able to give some suggestions."

Wang Bo looked at him in surprise and said, "You don't know how to brew beer? My God, you're a German. Why don't Germans know how to brew beer?"

Adrian spread his hands helplessly and said, "Who stipulates that Germans can brew beer? Can Chinese people know how to cook Chinese food? Can you?"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes, we Chinese can cook, of course I can."

Hani and others nodded wildly: "The Chinese food cooked by the boss is very good."

Adrian was stunned for a moment, and said, "Okay, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Wang Bo was teasing him, but he thought that even if Adrian didn't know how to brew beer, he should know some common sense. After all, Germany is the country of beer. Germans have been exposed to it since childhood, and they can always learn something related to brewing.

He purchased beer brewing machines, hired two brewers at the same time, and bought a large number of glass bottles to be used to hold beer in the future.

However, before making wine as a winemaker, Pharaoh wanted to do it himself. He doesn't know how to make wine yet, so it is always good to learn a skill.

Besides, isn't life a process of experience? How boring would it be to directly enjoy the finished product without the labor and experience process?

After hearing his words, the old tour guide nodded and said, "Boss, your idea is right. Life is a process of experience."

Adrian also said: "Although I don't know how to make beer, my grandfather likes it and understands it very much. He said to me that people who brew beer don't need to understand biology, but they must understand life."

Wang Bo rubbed his hands together and said, "Then, what are we still hesitating about? Let's do it."

The old tour guide said: "Who has brewed beer here? Is it only me? I have worked in a brewery."

"Well, let me introduce first. Brewing beer is generally divided into four processes: malting, saccharification, fermentation, and packaging, of which fermentation is the most important."

Hani smiled wryly, "I think we all know this."

The old tour guide pointed at him and said, "I know, inspector, I know you understand, but do you know what to do in this process?"

"It's just for fermentation." Hani said in a daze.

"It is necessary to pay attention to sterility and disinfection, because if there is other bacteria contamination during the fermentation process, the success will fall short, so every step and every place that touches the wine juice must be disinfected. In addition, there must be no oil stains. It will make the beer foamless," said the old tour guide.

Brewer's yeast, hops, selected malts, these are the basic ingredients.

New Zealanders like home-brewed beer very much. Although home-brewed beer has a higher alcohol content than produced beer, it is more mellow, so malt is sold in New Zealand supermarkets.

There are also department stores and supermarkets. The malt is vacuum-packed in plastic bags or wooden barrels, which are specially used for brewing beer.

Wang Bo prepared a lot of spiritual spring water, one barrel is 20 liters, and they were going to brew 40 liters of beer for the first time. The old tour guide Rex took two packs of beer yeast and said: "One pack can handle 20 liters of beer. Two packs are just right."

"How much malt to use?"

"Five kilograms," Rex said.

Wang Bo asked: "Is this sure? How about adding more malt? It doesn't matter if the alcohol content is higher."

Rex said with a smile: "My good boy, too much malt will not only lead to uncontrollable alcohol content, but also cause problems with the taste, and it will become difficult to drink at that time."

After explaining a few key points, they started to do it.

The equipment is complete, including incubators, heat preservation barrels, distillation pots, thermometers, one-way valves, funnels, rubber tubes and the like.

Rex picked up several rubber tubes and inspected them one by one, shaking his head and said: "No, boss, we need food-grade plastic tubes, I think they are sold in supermarkets, you can buy some."

"Aren't these okay?"

"Yes, no, the rubber tube is used for backflow and siphoning. The wine will pass through the rubber tube directly. If you use this kind of tube, it will smell like rubber, because alcohol easily dissolves rubber." The old tour guide said seriously.
