Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of alcohol beverage production equipment, in particular to an aging barrel for wine fermentation. Background Art
[0002] Wine aging is a complex process involving multiple chemical reactions that can significantly affect the wine's aroma, color, and taste.
[0003] The aging of wine is mainly a phenomenon that after fermentation is completed, the wine is stored for a period of time, so that the aroma, color and taste of the wine change and become more delicious as the storage time increases. This process involves a variety of chemical reactions, including complex interactions of sugars, acids and phenolic compounds, which can cause changes in the aroma, color and taste of the wine, making it more attractive. The aging process is affected by many factors, including the type of grapes, cultivation methods, harvest period, production area, brewing process, and the environmental conditions of the wine after bottling.
[0004] During the aging process, the sugar in the wine is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide under the action of yeast, which is the basic fermentation process. After fermentation is completed, the wine will be transferred to oak barrels for aging. Oak barrels provide good oxygen contact and moderate oxidation for the wine, making the taste of the wine softer and the aroma more intense.
[0005] Since oak barrels are expensive and only last about five years, they are expensive to produce. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model provides an aging barrel for wine fermentation, which is used to solve the above technical problems.
[0007] An aging barrel for wine fermentation comprises a barrel cover and a barrel body, wherein the bottom of the barrel body is provided with supporting legs, the bottom of the barrel body is provided with a discharge pipe, two oak frames are provided inside the barrel body, the oak frames are arranged up and down, the oak frames comprise connecting columns and circular rings, the connecting columns are connected to the barrel body, the circular ring is provided with an opening, and a nut is provided at the end of the circular ring.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting column is movably connected to the barrel body, the connecting column passes through the barrel body, the connecting column is provided with a connecting plate, the connecting plate is provided with an axis, and a connecting rod is provided between the axis.
[0009] Furthermore, the inlet of the discharge pipe is higher than the bottom of the barrel body, and a cover is provided on the top of the discharge pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the cover is conical.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: oak boards can be used instead of oak barrels for aging. Two holes or grooves are drilled in the oak boards, and the oak boards are sequentially passed through the rings and fixed with nuts, effectively preventing the oak boards from floating on the wine and reducing costs; the inlet of the discharge pipe is higher than the bottom of the barrel body and is provided with a cover to prevent suspended substances or dead yeast during the aging process from falling into the discharge pipe, and impurities flow out together when the wine is released, reducing the quality of the wine; by using a connecting rod to drive the oak board to rotate slightly for stirring, it helps to obtain a better aging effect.
