MTL - Happy Little Mayor-Chapter 1431 .Brew beer (3/5)

Winter is the off-season in New Zealand. Wang Bo is fine. He can accompany his family and prepare a wedding reception.

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

The food is solved, and the wine has to be solved. This cannot be solved by the sunset town. Fortunately, there is a patron of the overbearing president. Battier can help him find channels to buy a lot of red wine and white wine.

But beer is more in demand at wedding receptions than white wine.

Sunset Town can make its own wine, but only brew beer, red wine and white wine. Good wine takes time to settle, and Wang Bo is too late to hold a Buddhist leg.

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

The seeds of these fruits have been soaked with Lingquan water. Although the planted fruits do not have the heart of an orchard for variety improvement, they are also better than ordinary fruits on the market.

Fortunately, it is too late to make beer, or in other words, it is ready to do so now, because beer needs to be freshly brewed.

In July, the winter is still cold. Fortunately, there is no heavy snow and the weather is not bad. Every day, the sky is blue like sapphire, which makes people look refreshed.

Wang Bo decided to invest in a beer workshop in the town. It doesn't need to have much brewing ability, it can be supplied to the townspeople.

Of course, the primary goal is to supply the wedding scene. Adrian estimated that about 2,000 liters of beer will be required on the wedding day.

Wang Bo decided to brew these beers by himself. Some people in the town already brewed beer with Lingquan water, and the results were pretty good.

These results gave Pharaoh confidence that he felt that if he brewed beer, he would definitely drink better than the townspeople.

His confidence is not blind, because the malt used by the townspeople to brew beer is ordinary wheat malt, and Pharaoh has the beer malt he carefully cultivated.

Beginning last year, the farm began to grow beer malt, and the malt was packed up, waiting to brew beer by itself before the wedding.

In order to make a good beer, he invited old guides, Hani, Uncle Bing and others to study together, and also invited Adrian.

Upon receiving the invitation, Adrian went to the beer brewing workshop just opened on the farm, and then looked at the machine inside and said, "What is this? Is it beer?"

Wang Bo laughed: "Yes, I am going to brew some beer for wedding use."

Adrian smiled bitterly: "Although I'm happy to help you, Wang, but 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 amazement and said, "You can't make beer? Oh my god, you are a German, how can a German not know how to make beer?"

Adrian reluctantly spread his hand: "Who stipulates that Germans brew beer? Do Chinese people cook Chinese food? Do you?"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yeah, we Chinese will cook, of course I do."

Hani and others nodded frantically: "The Chinese cuisine made by the boss is very good."

Adrian froze and said, "Well, then when I didn't say that."

Wang Bo was teasing him, but he thought that even if Adrian didn't know how to make beer, then he should know some common sense. After all, Germany is a country of beer. Germans have been learning from the ears and can always learn something related to brewing.

He bought beer brewing machines, hired two brewers, and bought a large number of glass bottles for later beer.

However, before the winemaker made the wine, the Pharaoh wanted to do his own diy. He wouldn't make wine yet, so learning a skill is always good.

Besides, isn't life a process of experience? How fun is it to enjoy the finished product without labor and experience?

After listening to his words, the old tour guide nodded: "Boss, you are right, life is an experience process."

Adrian also said, "Although I don't know how to make beer, my grandfather likes it and knows it well. He said to me that the person who makes beer doesn't need to understand biology, but he must understand life."

Wang Bo rubbed his hands and said, "So, what are we waiting for? Let's get started."

The old guide said, "Who has brewed beer here? It should be me alone? I have worked in a brewery."

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

Hani smiled bitterly: "I think we all know this."

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

"Just to ferment," Hani forced.

"It is necessary to pay attention to sterility and disinfection, because if there is contamination with other miscellaneous bacteria in the fermentation process, it will be a shortfall. Therefore, disinfection must be performed at every step and every place where it comes into contact with the wine. In addition, there should be no oil stains. It will make the beer frothless, "said the old guide.

Beer yeast, hops, selected beer malt, this is the basic material.

New Zealanders like home-brewed beer. Although home-brewed beer has a higher degree of beer than the produced beer, it is more mellow, so New Zealand supermarkets have malt for sale.

It is also available in department stores and supermarkets. Malt is vacuum-packed in plastic bags or wooden barrels, which is used to brew beer.

Wang Bo prepared a lot of spiritual spring water. A barrel is 20 liters. They will brew 40 liters of beer for the first time. The old tour guide Rex took two packs of beer yeast and said, "A pack can get 20 liters of beer. Two bags are just right. "

"How much malt to use?"

"Five kilos," Rex said.

Wang Bo asked: "Is this OK? Or more malt? It doesn't matter if the alcohol content is high."

Rex laughed: "My good guy, using too much malt will not only lead to uncontrollable alcohol content, but also cause taste problems, which will make it difficult to drink."

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

The equipment is complete, incubator, insulated barrel, retort, thermometer, and one-way gas valve, funnel, rubber tube and the like.

Rex picked up several rubber tubes and checked them one by one. He shook his head and said, "No, boss. We need food-grade plastic tubes. I think they are available in the supermarket. You can buy a few."

"Isn't that all right?"

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