Chapter 1449 1432. Brother-in-law, don't do this (45)
In fact, brewing beer is a process, and home brewing is still very simple.
The malt is crushed and placed in a still to obtain the wort, which is boiled and hopped for a certain period of time.
Then quickly cool down to below 20 degrees Celsius, put in the beer special yeast that has been expanded and cultivated with wort in advance, and then seal it in a fermenter with a one-way water seal, and ferment in the dark.
This fermentation process is very slow and takes at least a week, which means that after a group of people finish making beer, they have to wait a week before they can drink it.
Looking at the two sealed vats for fermentation, Wang Bo asked unwillingly: "Can we just wait? Damn it, can't we drink it now?"
"It's not beer now, it's just wort, even if you drink it, you won't like it." Old Rex said with a shrug.
Wang Bo sighed and said, "Okay, then I can only wait for the damn week to pass before tasting the fine wine."
Fortunately, time passed quickly in winter when nothing happened. Within a week, there was no change in Sunset Town, except that the weather got warmer and there were a little more tourists.
However, the number of domestic tourists has not decreased. At this time, the country is gradually turning hot, and many people want to escape the heat. Although the climate in New Zealand is a bit cold, it has won the favor of many people because of the best air quality in winter.
In late July, when the week ended, Wang Bo and others rushed to the beer workshop after get off work.
Now there are not only two barrels of beer in the storage room of the workshop, but more than 20 barrels, all of which are the result of brewing by the brewers in the past few days.
Wang Bo's eyes darkened after entering the storage room: "These wine barrels are exactly the same, which one is ours?"
The old tour guide smiled and said, "Let me identify it for you."
He walked around in these fermenting barrels, patted the two barrels behind and said, "Boss, these two are ours."
Wang Bo said with admiration: "Your vision is really sharp, you are indeed a well-informed old guy."
Old Rex chuckled and said, "Although I really want to get your praise, there is actually a time mark on the fermenter, you see."
Uncle Bing, Hani and Atulu laughed heartily.
Two large barrels were taken out, but they could not be drunk directly. This is not finished beer.
The beer brewed in this way has enough carbon dioxide, but the taste is a bit bitter, so a little white sugar melted with cold boiled water has to be added to it.
Atulu poured a pile of sugar and said, "No wonder some beer tastes sweet to me. It turns out that it is because of the addition of sugar. Come on, add more."
In this regard, Wang Bo understands that the addition of these sugars is not to directly improve the taste of beer, but to allow the yeast to ferment in the beer bottle to produce carbon dioxide, increase the flavor of beer, and produce more taste changes.
Wang Bo only added sugar water to one barrel, and adding about 180 grams of sugar to 20 liters of beer is enough, more will affect the taste.
After mixing the sugar water and beer evenly, the old tour guide used the siphon method to introduce the liquor into a sterilized glass bottle and seal it well.
"Leave a space in the neck of the bottle, so that oxygen can activate the yeast to decompose the nutrients in the sugar water added later, and produce more carbon dioxide to dissolve into the beer." He said while operating.
Atulu opened another barrel of beer, no need to add sugar, the beer fermented for a week is still drinkable, some people even like to drink beer without sugar.
Because, in the beer brewing process, the early production process did not have the concept of secondary fermentation.
Wang Bo asked Atulu to pick up the wine barrel, and several people found a holiday house on the farm to live in. Then Motak sent someone to deliver an oven, lit it, put a pot on it, and added it to the bottom of the pot to make hot pot.
Looking at the clear sky outside, Lao Wang said regretfully, "It's a pity that it didn't snow that day, otherwise it must be very refreshing to eat hot pot and drink home-brewed beer while it's snowing."
Atulu said: "It's okay, boss, only hot pot and beer are also very refreshing."
The pot boiled, and they put plates of mutton into it and started to boil.
Atulu filled everyone's beer glasses, and then the beer keg disappeared for a small half.
This beer glass is very big, and it can hold one liter of beer. Wang Bo felt heavy in his hand. He lifted the glass and took a big gulp. The aroma of the wine was so strong.
Uncle Bing Atulu and Hani are both veterans of beer drinking, let alone old Rex. After drinking beer, several people's eyes lit up:
"Schete, why didn't you brew your own beer earlier?"
"Rex, your wine is really good!"
"Thanks, it's actually the water that's amazing, I knew the town's water was perfect for brewing beer!"
The tender lamb was tumbling in the pot, but several people were not in the mood to eat meat, and they all toasted and drank there. Six or seven people quickly drank the 20-liter barrel of beer.
After drinking this bucket of beer, it was not enjoyable at all. Several people looked at each other, and Atulu said, "Boss, let me move the bucket just now."
Wang Bo shook his head and said, "Forget it, that barrel needs secondary fermentation."
"It's delicious without secondary fermentation." Atulu said.
Everyone nodded one after another. Indeed, this wine is brewed with traditional techniques, and it still has a tangy aroma that whets the appetite.
Wang Bo didn't allow it. He can't drink enough. After drinking two liters of beer, he was already a little dizzy.
The alcohol content of self-brewed beer is much higher than that of ordinary beer. The alcohol they brew is at least ten degrees, and Lao Wang drank it quickly, which is even better.
However, the feeling of being dizzy after drinking was not bad. Lao Wang ate two pieces of meat in a daze, and then felt full. He stood up while supporting the table and said, "Goodbye, everyone. I'm going back to see the children."
Uncle Bing stopped him and said, "Boss, you drank too much, how do you go back now?"
Lao Wang pointed to the outside and said, "My car is there, I will drive back."
Uncle Bing couldn't laugh or cry: "Is the alcohol a little high? The boss is drunk."
Atulu urged: "You let him drive, and then we catch him."
"Idiot, he will beat you to death when he sobers up." Hani gave him a blank look.
Uncle Bing finally called Motak to drive Wang Bo back. Lao Wang got off the car at the gate of the villa, and the strong man rushed up when he saw it, and then threw him to the ground.
There are still traces of snow on the grass, and Lao Wang will be burning with alcohol, so he can't feel the cold, so he hugged the strong man and gnawed.
The young man was stunned, but he knew that kissing meant love, so he just kept wagging his tail.
Xiao Wang and the fat cats ran over enviously when they saw it, and pushed Lao Wang to kiss them. The army commander kept shouting: "Ah, kiss me, ah, kiss me."
Lao Wang ignored them and continued to chew on the strong man.
The strong man is very proud: You little bitches know who is their own now, right?
Little Lolita ran out of the house and saw it, with a dull expression on her face: "Brother-in-law, don't be like this, do you want a Japanese dog?"
