Hengshui Laobaigan brewing process

Hengshui Laobaigan adopts a unique earth vat fermentation and brewing process. The earth vat fermentation process is compared with the mud pit fermentation method of Luzhou-flavor wine and the fermentation method of Maotai-flavor wine. In the stone cellar fermentation method, during the fermentation process, the earthenware jar is outside the wine grains, which can form a solid wall. It effectively blocks the invasion of harmful microorganisms in the soil, so that the beneficial functional microorganisms in the wine grains are not affected, and plays an effective isolation role.

Laobaigan Liquor implements standardized management in the production process and strictly controls the generation of fusel oil. A strict quality control system has been established from raw materials, Daqu, process operations to hygiene management to effectively reduce the generation of fusel oil.
