Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of rice wine production, and in particular to a method for making rice wine koji and a method for brewing rice wine. Background Art
[0002] Yellow rice wine is a traditional alcoholic beverage in my country. It is low in alcohol content and rich in nutrition, and is very popular among consumers. Traditionally, rice wine sold on the market is mainly made from rice wine, which uses malt koji as a saccharification and fermentation agent. It has a long production cycle, low yield, and complex taste. It has gradually failed to adapt to market demand. The inheritance of traditional culture faces severe challenges. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the malt koji of yellow rice wine and improve the flavor of yellow rice wine.
[0003] Foreign wines made from grains generally use malt as a saccharifying agent, and have a refreshing taste with the natural flavor of grains. However, Chinese liquor and yellow wine are generally brewed with daqu (wheat koji), which is a crude enzyme preparation for natural fermentation. Its microbial species are very complex and the quality of the koji is difficult to control. Therefore, fermentation with daqu will produce bad taste and harmful ingredients, covering up the aroma of the grains themselves. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention hopes to provide a method for making yellow wine koji and a method for brewing yellow wine, and the specific scheme is as follows:
[0005] A method for making yellow wine koji comprises the following steps: washing wheat, soaking wheat, germination, withering, cooling, crushing, mixing koji for fermentation and drying and roasting for fragrance.
[0006] A method for making yellow wine koji, the specific steps are as follows:
[0007] (1) Wash the wheat: Wash with clean water to remove floating wheat and impurities.
[0008] (2) Soaking wheat: Soak in clean water for 18-24 hours at a temperature of 18°C to 22°C, cut off the water supply and ventilate intermittently during the soaking process, and then soak again; in the prior art, the soaking time for beer wheat is generally 2-3 days, and the soaking degree of wheat needs to reach 42-48%, but the applicant has found that this is not applicable to the present invention;
[0009] (3) Germination: Germination under 18℃~20℃ ventilated conditions;
[0010] (4) Withering: Baking and withering;
[0011] (5) Crushing: After the malt is cooled to room temperature, crushing is performed; beer generally requires the removal of malt roots by drying, which is also different from the conventional operation of the present invention;
[0012] (6) Mixing koji and fermenting: Add additives to the crushed malt particles, mix and evenly mix;
[0013] (7) placing the malt particles to which the bacteria and fermentation aids are added into a container and fermenting for 48 to 72 hours;
[0014] (8) Take out the fermented malt particles, bake them until the moisture content is about 4-7%, increase the temperature, bake them until fragrant, cool them, and store them for later use.
[0015] In step (3), the germination may be carried out until the middle bud is 1 to 2 times the length of the wheat grain.
[0016] In the step (4), the malt is withered until the moisture content of the malt is 16-25%.
[0017] In the step (5), the wheat grains are crushed into 3 to 5 grains.
[0018] The additives in step (6) include potassium dihydrogen phosphate, citric acid monohydrate, sodium citrate dihydrate, magnesium sulfate and Aspergillus oryzae spore powder.
[0019] The mass ratio of the additives in step (6) is potassium dihydrogen phosphate: citric acid monohydrate: sodium citrate dihydrate: magnesium sulfate: Aspergillus oryzae spore powder = 0.8-1.3: 8-10: 0.8-1.2: 2.5-3.5: 4-6.
[0020] In step (8), the baking temperature is 60°C to 65°C, the subsequent heating temperature is 103°C, and the baking time is 1-3 hours. This temperature can reduce the decomposition of protein into amino acids by proteases in the raw malt koji to a certain extent, and ensure that the yellow wine produced by the yellow wine koji has a special aroma.
[0021] A method for brewing yellow wine comprises a pre-treatment process and a post-fermentation process, wherein the yellow wine koji prepared as above is used in the pre-treatment process.
[0022] The present invention has the following advantages:
[0023] 1. The present invention organically combines the beer malting process with the yellow wine koji making process (combining the eastern and western koji making processes, first culturing malt, then culturing pure Rhizopus, forming a new type of yellow wine koji), taking advantage of each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses; because the present invention has two processes of producing amylase, namely grain germination and Rhizopus fermentation, the formed koji has an enzyme activity 20% to 50% higher than that of traditional koji, which can reach 1200U / g.
[0024] 2. After repeated experiments, the combination of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, citric acid monohydrate, sodium citrate dihydrate, magnesium sulfate and Aspergillus oryzae spore powder can provide a good fermentation environment during fermentation, thereby ensuring the vitality of the malt in this application. In addition, this application found that some parameters and characteristics of the beer malting process are not well adapted to yellow wine, so some conditions for cultivating malt need to be modified.
[0025] 3. The rice wine brewed from this koji fully complies with national standards, and has a mellower and more refreshing taste, which may be easily accepted by young consumers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
