Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquor production and processing technology, and in particular to a fermentation device for the production and processing of Yunnan light-aroma liquor. Background Technology

[0002] Yunnan Xiaoqu Qingxiang Baijiu is a type of baijiu brewed using Xiaoqu (small-grain starter) as the saccharification and fermentation agent. Xiaoqu is made from rice flour or rice bran, with the addition of small amounts of traditional Chinese herbs or natural plants such as Polygonum hydropiper, and is cultivated through inoculation with a starter culture. During the brewing process, the microorganisms in the Xiaoqu (mainly Rhizopus and yeast) saccharify and ferment the starch in the raw materials, converting it into glucose, and further into alcohol. This process is the core of Yunnan Xiaoqu Qingxiang Baijiu brewing. Existing fermentation equipment used for Yunnan Xiaoqu Qingxiang Baijiu production may form viscous substances during fermentation due to the action of microorganisms and changes in composition. This can cause the mash to accumulate in hard clumps at the bottom or corners of the fermentation tank, preventing smooth flow. Cleaning requires workers to constantly hold the fermentation tank, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low operational efficiency. Furthermore, when the temperature is unsuitable, the growth and metabolic activities of microorganisms are inhibited, slowing down the fermentation process and reducing efficiency.
