[0002] The brewing process of baijiu includes processes such as raw material crushing, grain soaking, ingredient mixing, and distillation. Grain soaking, also known as grain moistening, refers to the process of moistening the brewing raw materials with water before cooking, so that the raw materials can evenly absorb a certain amount of water. After being properly crushed, the starch granules of sorghum absorb an appropriate amount of water and expand, laying the foundation for subsequent cooking and gelatinization.

[0003] Proper sorghum soaking not only provides the moisture required for fermentation of sorghum raw materials, but also removes some tannins and other substances from the sorghum, thus improving the quality of the liquor.
