Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of baijiu brewing equipment, specifically a cellar mud adhesion device for brewing strong-aroma baijiu. Background Technology
[0002] Baijiu, one of the world's six famous distilled spirits, has a long history of brewing. Based on differences in brewing koji, fermentation containers, raw materials and mash preparation processes, and natural environment, baijiu can be divided into 12 aroma types. Among them, strong-aroma baijiu has the largest production volume and the highest market share. Cellar mud is the clay adhering to the bottom and inner wall of the cellar. Cellar mud is an important source of ethyl hexanoate, a characteristic flavor compound of strong-aroma baijiu. In the brewing process of strong-aroma baijiu, cellar mud is an important place for the generation of flavor compounds in the liquor, and plays a decisive role in the flavor characteristics and quality of strong-aroma baijiu. Cellar mud is rich in microorganisms such as hexanoic acid bacteria and lactic acid bacteria and their groups. The various enzymes produced by their metabolism participate in various reactions of fermentation and produce a variety of flavor compounds, including acids, esters, ketones and alcohols. These flavor compounds contribute to the unique aroma, flavor and rich taste of strong-aroma baijiu.
[0003] Under specific conditions and within an appropriate range, the larger the contact area between the mash and the cellar mud, the more significant the influence of the cellar mud on the microorganisms and flavor metabolism of the mash. This results in the generation and accumulation of aroma substances such as ethyl hexanoate in the mash, leading to better quality strong-aroma baijiu. However, the mash in the upper layer of the cellar does not contact the cellar mud at the bottom, resulting in lower content of flavor substances such as ethyl hexanoate in the resulting baijiu. Therefore, increasing the ethyl hexanoate content in the baijiu produced from the upper layer of the cellar is an important issue that needs to be addressed in the adjustment of the strong-aroma baijiu brewing process. The "mud-blended fermentation" process, which increases the contact area between the fermented mash and the cellar mud, can be considered an important and preferred approach. In addition, the cellar needs to be replaced or maintained in a timely manner after different production runs, and the degraded cellar mud also needs to be replenished with nutrients and maintained in a timely manner to maintain the microbial community and vitality of the cellar mud. To this end, we propose a cellar mud attachment device for strong-aroma baijiu brewing. Utility Model Content

An arc-shaped groove 34 is opened in the middle of the storage chamber 3. Arc-shaped baffles 32 are fixedly installed at both ends and the middle section of the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 34. A round hole 31 is opened at the center of each arc-shaped baffle 32. The horizontal column 2 passes through the round hole 31. The storage chamber 3 is made of stainless steel. The silo body and the arc-shaped baffles 32 are all stainless steel arc-shaped baffles. Second buckles 33 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the arc-shaped baffles 32 located on the left and right sides of the arc-shaped groove 34. The fixing rod 4 includes hooks 41 and adjusting screws 42. Hooks 41 are detachably installed at both ends of the adjusting screws 42 via bolts. One hook 41 of the adjusting screw 42 engages with the second buckle 33 on the arc-shaped baffle 32, and the other hook 41 engages with the adjacent first buckle 12 on the vertical beam 1. All hooks 41 are stainless steel hooks, all adjusting screws 42 are stainless steel adjusting screws, all vertical beams 1 are stainless steel vertical beams, and all horizontal columns 2 are stainless steel horizontal columns. The specifications of components such as the vertical beams 1, horizontal columns 2, and silo body 3 are precisely designed according to the actual length, width, and height dimensions of the silo. First, the vertical beams 1... After fixing the horizontal column 2 in a suitable position within the pit, align the fixing bolts 21 at both ends of the horizontal column 2 with the fixing holes 11 on the vertical beam 1, insert them, and tighten them to complete the connection between the vertical beam 1 and the horizontal column 2. Next, place the silo body 3 onto the horizontal column 2 through the round hole 31 in the center of the arc-shaped baffle 32 inside the arc-shaped groove 34 in its middle. Determine the required number of silo bodies 3 according to the actual process requirements and install them in sequence.

The fixing bolts 21 at both ends of the horizontal column 2 are aligned with the fixing holes 11 on the vertical beam 1, inserted, and tightened to complete the connection between the vertical beam 1 and the horizontal column 2. Next, the cellar body 3 is fitted onto the horizontal column 2 through the round hole 31 in the center of the arc-shaped baffle 32 inside the central arc-shaped groove 34. The required number of cellar bodies 3 is determined according to the actual process requirements and installed sequentially. For example, a large cellar may require more cellar bodies 3 to fully utilize the space and increase the contact area. A fixing rod 4 is installed, and the hook 41 at one end of the fixing rod 4 is hung on the second buckle on the arc-shaped baffle 32. 33. The other end is fastened to the first buckle 12 of the vertical beam 1. By rotating the adjusting screw 42 in the middle of the fixing rod 4, the length of the fixing rod 4 is adjusted to ensure that the silo 3 is stable and prevents it from shaking or shifting in the pit, thus ensuring its stability and laying a good foundation for subsequent operations. The prepared pit mud is evenly filled into the arc-shaped groove 34 of the silo 3. The surface of the pit mud is scraped flat with a tool to ensure that the pit mud is evenly distributed in the arc-shaped groove 34, so that the grain mash and the pit mud can be in full contact, which is conducive to the exchange of microorganisms and flavor substances. In the pit filled with pit mud, the grain mash is slowly poured into the pit according to the traditional pit filling process requirements of strong aroma baijiu, filling the pit space. Care should be taken to avoid damaging the pit mud attachment device and pit mud structure. After the grain mash is filled, the pit is sealed to create an anaerobic fermentation environment and start the fermentation process.
