[0002] The process of producing alcoholic beverages with a certain concentration through microbial fermentation. Raw materials and brewing containers are two prerequisites for grain-based brewing. The fermentation pit, as the core site of fermentation, directly affects the flavor and quality of the liquor due to the quality of the mud at the bottom of the pit.
[0003] Traditional fermentation pit bottom maintenance mainly relies on manual labor. However, manual soil turning is labor-intensive, and it is difficult to guarantee the depth and uniformity of turning, which can easily lead to an uneven fermentation environment in the pit mud, affecting the activity and reproduction of brewing microorganisms and thus adversely affecting the quality of the wine. Secondly, the addition of solid koji powder and liquid nutrient solution is mostly based on experience, which is not precise and cannot achieve uniform distribution. This not only wastes raw materials but may also affect the fermentation effect due to local component imbalance. In addition, manual maintenance is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of continuous operation of multiple pits in large-scale brewing production. Moreover, labor costs have been rising year by year with the development of the industry, which has brought considerable economic pressure to brewing enterprises.
