Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a distillation device, and more particularly to a hot air switching distillation device, but the present application is not limited thereto. Background Art

[0002] Solid-state fermentation of pure grains is an existing brewing process; for example, the brewing process of sorghum wine is roughly divided into three parts: koji making, brewing and packaging. Among them, the brewing process includes soaking, steaming, cooling, mixing koji, fermentation, distillation, cooling, re-mixing koji, re-fermentation and re-distillation.

[0003] The distillation is a separation method that utilizes thermodynamics. It utilizes the difference in boiling points of the components in a liquid or solid-liquid mixture to allow the low-boiling-point components to evaporate first and then condense. During the distillation operation, the winemaker will obtain the head and tail of the wine according to the alcohol concentration. When steam is continuously blown through the mash to collect the tail of the wine, the steam will form water vapor on the surface of the mash, making the water content of the mash difficult to control, which is relatively unfavorable for the subsequent redistillation and the quality of the brewed wine that can be obtained.
