[0002] Jiangxiang Daqu plays the roles of saccharification, fermentation, flavor generation and grain input in the production of Jiangxiang-flavor Baijiu, and is one of the important factors affecting the style and quality of Jiangxiang-flavor Baijiu. The traditional Jiangxiang Daqu is a wrapped-curve type. During the stacking fermentation process, the mutual extrusion between the upper and lower curved blanks slows down the volatilization of moisture. Secondly, the use of a large amount of straw also plays a certain role in heat preservation and moisture retention for the curved blanks. The distance from the core to the surface of the wrapped-curve type Daqu is 6-7 cm. When fermenting Jiangxiang Daqu on a koji rack, due to the supporting effect of the bearing platform, there is basically no extrusion between the upper and lower wrapped-curve type Daqu, the moisture dissipation channel is unobstructed, and the moisture of the curved blanks dissipates quickly, resulting in insufficient fermentation temperature maintenance time for the curved blanks and poor fermentation effect.

[0022] The technical solution of the present application will be further described below through specific embodiments:

[0023] The technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is to design a stainless steel koji basket for wrapping cylindrical koji embryos under the condition of cylindrical koji embryos, so as to keep the cylindrical koji warm and moisturized, and realize the mechanized shelf-type or frame-type stacking and culturing fermentation of high-quality cylindrical sauce-flavored Daqu.

[0024] The utility model provides a koji basket for the stacking fermentation of cylindrical sauce-flavored Daqu, which comprises a hollowed-out cover plate, a hollowed-out cylindrical main body and a hollowed-out bottom plate.

[0025] The cover plate is welded by a circular steel plate and steel bars. The circular steel plate is processed with hollows, which plays a role in the gas (vapor) interaction between the internal cylindrical koji blocks of the koji basket and the external fermentation space.

[0026] The hollowed-out cylindrical main body is welded by hollowed-out steel plates, and its bottom is welded with a circular hollowed-out steel plate as the bottom plate, which plays a role in the gas (vapor) interaction between the internal koji blocks of the koji basket and the external fermentation space.

[0027] The hollows can be designed into different sizes and shapes or shapes with adjustable opening degrees. The hollow shapes can be square, circular, rhombic, etc.

[0028] At the same time, after the cylindrical koji is placed in the stainless steel koji basket by a robotic arm, it can be placed on the loading platform of the koji rack or stacked in the koji frame, which is convenient for the operation of mechanical equipment such as automated forklifts, reduces the labor intensity, and is suitable for the mechanized, automated and large-scale brewing of high-quality sauce-flavored Daqu.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] In this implementation scheme, based on the size of the cylindrical koji blank of sauce-flavored Daqu: the diameter is (200±0.5) mm, and the height is (200±0.5) mm. Considering the size error and production error of the cylindrical koji blank, the cylindrical stainless steel koji basket is designed as: the diameter is (205±0.5) mm, and the height is (200±0.5) mm. The hollow shape is a long strip: 20 mm in length and 3 mm in width.

[0031] Koji blank pressing and placement. After the raw materials are mixed with water and pressed into cylindrical koji blanks with a diameter of (200±0.5) mm and a height of (200±0.5) mm. Then, they are placed in the cylindrical stainless steel koji basket by automated equipment. The stainless steel koji basket filled with cylindrical koji blanks is placed in a 6-layer koji rack. After it is full, 4 door panels are hung on the koji rack by hanging parts. The koji rack is transferred to the fermentation room by an automated forklift. After the fermentation room is full of koji racks, the doors and windows are closed to maintain the temperature and humidity of the bacteria cultivation environment, and the microbial flora grows and declines, ferments naturally and heats up naturally in the koji blank.

[0032] Mechanized koji turning. After the koji blanks are stacked and cultivated with bacteria for a certain period of time, the koji rack is turned 180 degrees by a robotic arm to realize the mechanized koji turning operation. As the moisture of the koji blanks weakens, the doors and windows of the fermentation room can be slightly opened until the moisture of the koji blanks drops to about 15%, and the fermentation ends.

[0033] Storage in the warehouse. After the fermentation of the koji bricks is completed, the cylindrical koji bricks are removed and transferred to the finished koji warehouse. Keep the finished koji warehouse ventilated and dry. Store for 3 - 6 months to obtain the finished koji, which can be taken out of the warehouse, crushed and used.
