It's been almost a year since I made a homemade wine. It's getting colder and colder. In the cold morning, come to a bowl of wine-stuffed egg soup to dispel the cold and warm your stomach. Drinking it every day will not be bored. As winter is approaching, I will share the lazy version of the homemade wine made by myself with everyone.

The traditional method is too cumbersome for me, soaking for a long time, steaming for 30 minutes, and then pouring over, there is no motivation to do this step. It is undeniable that this step is safer for making fermented rice with glutinous rice.
The first thing you want to make a good brew is to make loose and well-ripe rice. Why do traditional methods use glutinous rice? Because the content of glutinous rice amylopectin is nearly 100%, it is not easy to age, which is good for Rhizopus to decompose into glucose. But if glutinous rice is cooked in an electric rice cooker or pressure cooker, it is difficult to cook loose rice, so I choose to use northeast rice (that is, japonica rice). Japonica rice contains nearly 90% amylopectin, which is higher than southern indica rice. . It is relatively easy to cook suitable rice with japonica rice. It is relatively easy to cook loose rice with a rice cooker, but my family only has an electric pressure cooker, so I had to use an electric pressure cooker to test it. From the beginning of soaking the rice and then steaming it to the present, it is directly boiled with water. M, the steps are simplified a lot.
The second step in making fermented rice is fermentation. The temperature of about 30 degrees is most suitable for the propagation of Rhizopus, and it is easier to operate successfully with a rice wine machine, because the temperature is well controlled, and the machine fermentation takes less time than room temperature fermentation. The rice is cool to about 30 degrees Celsius to add koji. If it is not well controlled, it is better to cool it a little bit instead of hot. The cooked rice should not be left for a long time to prevent the rice from aging. Rhizopus in the early stage of fermentation requires an aerobic environment, and in the later stage, the yeast converts glucose into alcohol under anaerobic conditions, so water can be added in the later stage (on the other hand, the reason is that less water is released when cooking rice, which is not conducive to later fermentation). Fermentation at room temperature in summer is fine, and a radiator in winter is also fine. I personally recommend buying a yogurt rice wine machine (or other appliances with this function), 1.5L is better.

If you understand the principles of brewing, you can do more with less. It is recommended that novices try pure rice for the first time. The following is the method of adding some black rice. "

1. Mix the rice and black rice, and add the right amount of water. You can soak for five minutes and heat the rice for cooking. The electric pressure cooker should not be soaked for a long time. Reference water consumption for cooking rice in an electric pressure cooker: Black rice and rice add water to a total of about 570g. If it is 300g rice, add about 280g water. It is best if there is an electronic weighing system; the amount of water is probably just under one meter.

2. When the rice is cooked, stir it with a spoon while it is hot. The rice is not hot when placed. It can be flipped once or twice in the middle to help cool down. Under normal circumstances, the temperature can be lowered to a suitable temperature within half an hour.

9. Generally, after 30 hours, a small amount of water seeps out from the bottom, and the rice will separate from the side of the bladder.

10. After the water comes out from the bottom, it can be cooled and boiled without the rice.

11. Continue to ferment for 4-5 hours. At this time the juice color has darkened. If you like a strong wine, you can ferment for a few more hours.

Tips:

After that, you can eat it slowly for a few days. During the refrigeration, the fermented fermented rice will make the sour taste weaker. Personally, I feel that after two or three days in the refrigerator, the taste is more intense than the freshly fermented one. If the fermentation time is long, the rice will float to the upper part of the container. If the rice feels empty when it is eaten, it means that it is over-fermented.



Since making distilled rice, only the first few times it tastes bad. The temperature of the rice is high when it is put on the koji, and the rice has too much water. The sour distilled rice is made, which can also be eaten and used as a seasoning for cooking. Now use the above method to remove the time to soak the black rice and use rice. From the beginning of the rice cooking to the fermenting in the rice wine machine, all operations can be completed within an hour, and then wait for the brew to slowly ferment.

Regarding the later fermentation, it is recommended to use glass containers. The enamel bowl used at the beginning of the production was found to be corroded in several places after a while. Long-term storage of acidic liquid is still a safe point for glass.



For the prepared fermented rice, boiled egg soup with pure rice is most suitable; black rice can be eaten with porridge; make fermented steamed buns; make fermented dumplings. It can be eaten directly in cold storage in summer, and it is more suitable to eat hot in winter.
