Technological characteristics of xifeng liquor
Xifeng liquor production adopts continuation? Continuous fermentation (i.e. continuous fermentation) is a production cycle, in which pits are set in September of the first year and pits are taken in July of the second year. The whole production process is divided into six processes: standing (standing slag), crushing (breaking slag), topping, rounding, inserting (stopping feeding grain) and picking (fermented grains).
Requirements: the amount of boiling water (that is, the application of bottom pot water is convenient for sterilization, acid discharge, drying and fragrance enhancement); Using heat preservation method to cellar (that is, low water content, the water content required to enter the pool is about 56%; Xiaoqu amount, the addition amount is 18- 20% of the original grain; When entering the pond, the temperature should be appropriately increased to about 18-20℃ to adapt to the short fermentation period and promote the fermentation of fermented grains. Mud-sealed pits (each pit is sealed with new mud after entering the pit, so as to expand the contact surface between fermented grains and soil, promote aroma enhancement, and at the same time play the role of preventing bacterial invasion and insulating fermentation).
