Chapter 61 Whiskey

   It's been a while since I traveled into this world, Bruno suddenly found a very serious problem.

   There is no maid beside him!

   raised his head and looked around. All around him were a group of big men.

  From Sabie to Lobita, and then from Lobita to Liszt, Bruno's personal servants have changed three, but there is not even a personal servant.

   I was a single dog in my previous life. I can’t do the same in this life...

  The few women in the lord’s castle are mostly concentrated in the kitchen of the lord’s castle, and all of them are elephant legs and bucket waists, and even unicorn arms!

   Killing pigs and cows is definitely a good hand, but if you pull over to be a close-knit maid, it's always almost meaningless.

   Bruno also wants to have an aristocratic life without shame!

   The nobles on the border are not good at this point. Nowhere is it like the rich land in the western part of the empire, where the castles of the noble lords are densely next to each other, and even the banquets of the noble ladies are one after another from morning to night.

   However, if everything can be done again and Bruno chooses himself, I am afraid he will still choose Idar.

   After all, Idar is as clean as a piece of white paper, on which you can paint and paint as much as you like.

  ……

   It’s a beautiful thing to wake up naturally every day. No, it’s already eight or nine o’clock when I wake up.

   "I blame you, Liszt, and I don't know how to call me earlier, do you know how precious the morning time is!" Bruno throws all the pots of sleep on Liszt's head as usual.

   "Master... But what did you tell me about getting up late and ruining the morning, getting up early for a silly day..." Liszt said with aggrieved lips.

   "Asshole, dare to talk back to Sir Alex and buckle you a copper plate!" Bruno lifted his leg and kicked his toe lightly.

   After finishing speaking, Bruno picked up his toothbrush and prepared to wash in the courtyard of the castle.

   The toothbrush was made by Bruno the carpenter just a few days ago. The toothbrush is made of pig bristles, which is moderately hard and soft. It is connected to the bone handle and is suitable for brushing.

   toothpaste is replaced with freshly ground mint powder, which gives a fresh breath and good results.

   The servants in the lord's castle have already taken offense to the novelty of Lord Earl.

   People in this era do not have the consciousness of brushing their teeth. When they open their mouths, they always lick their big yellow teeth. There is an unpleasant smell from time to time when they speak.

   Therefore, in order to protect his fragile sense of smell, at Bruno's strong request, the old Ford, Sabi, and Liszt, who often accompanied Bruno and communicate with him, began to develop the habit of brushing their teeth every day.

   It has been half a month since the end of the war, and serfs and civilians are also busy ploughing in spring.

  It can be said that Bruno is the only one in the entire Idar leader who has nothing to do all day, wandering around.

   After so many days of preparation, the utensils and utensils for making distilled liquor have basically been built.

   When Bruno received the news, accompanied by Liszt and others, he rushed to the distillery workshop just established next to the lord’s castle.

   Nowadays, the world's brewing technology is still in its infancy. There are only two types of common wines, one is fruit wine such as wine, and the other is ale, which generally refers to beer.

   The former mostly appeared in the nobles' banquets and dinners, while the latter was mostly concentrated in the taverns on the streets and alleys.

   But the two have one thing in common, that is, the degree is generally very low, mostly around six or seven degrees.

   As for what Bruno wants to brew, it is a highly distilled liquor with a temperature of over 40 or 50 degrees.

  Only in this way, Idarling can quickly occupy a blank high wine market.

   And his only worry is whether the nobles in this world can recognize the high level of distilled spirits!

   Although he has the experience of the previous life as a base, to be honest, Bruno will still be a little nervous.

  Because Idar, or the Norman Empire did not grow sorghum on a large scale, Bruno’s initial plan to brew liquor could only be declared bankrupt.

but!

   He can make brandy and whiskey!

  The general definition of brandy is a wine made from grapes (fruits), fermented and then distilled, and then matured and blended in barrels.

   To put it simply, it has more distillation steps than today's wine.

   Whiskey is a highly distilled liquor made with barley as the main raw material.

   The starch content of barley is basically the same as that of sorghum, and the wine yield is very high.

   Bruno paid special attention to the first brewing. In consideration of cost control and market opening, he decided to avoid brandy and use barley to brew whiskey directly.

  Whiskey was called the "water of life" by Westerners in the previous life, which shows how popular whiskey is.

  Moreover, not only barley can be used to brew whiskey, but other grains such as corn and oats can also be used to brew whiskey.

In addition, with the continuous development of whiskey, people in the previous generation have gradually begun to use the blending method to brew whiskey, and due to the difference in raw materials and brewing methods, it can be divided into malt whiskey, grain whiskey, five-grain whiskey, and barley. There are five categories of malt whiskey and blended whiskey.

   For today's Idalling, whiskey made from barley is undoubtedly the best choice.

  Before brewing whiskey, it is necessary to soak the barley in water to promote its germination~www.novelmt.com~ and transfer the soaked barley to a special germination room to spread out to make it germinate evenly.

   For this first step, Bruno had already explained it when he ordered the craftsmen to build the utensils. After these days of waiting, the first batch of barley had already sprouted.

   The barley should be dried after germination in order to retain the various amylases needed for saccharification.

   The next step is to grind, and add water to the ground raw materials to become a paste for saccharification. This process requires the temperature to be maintained at about 60 to 65 degrees, which has a great influence on the taste of whiskey.

   After that, it is fermented, and it only takes three to five days to form a puree liquor of about seven degrees.

   Then the obtained puree liquor is distilled. Since the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, the alcohol will vaporize before water and then condense to form a liquid.

   After repeating the above distillation steps three to four times, a distilled liquor with a degree of 60 or 70 degrees can be obtained.

Orthodox whiskey also needs to put these new wines into oak barrels for aging, which can absorb and remove impurities in the wine, and give the wine color and flavor. It can also make the wine through a long-term micro-oxygen environment. The compounds inside continue to undergo oxidation reactions.

   But in Bruno's view, the time for the last step can be shortened completely.

   After all, for the indigenous people of this world, it is the first time to see even the distilled spirits. Wherever there is such a picky taste, it is enough to drink vigorously!
