Golden Fishery

1521. Brew your own beer

After helping Wei Ni settle the matter easily, Qin Shiou hurried back and continued to pickle the fulmar.

No wonder the Ethiopians are anxious. The short-tailed fulmar is now in groups on the island, and it is the most convenient to catch. If you use ice to store a part of it, then this thing can be sold at a high price after a while, because the meat quality of this wild bird Really plump.

Short-tailed fulmars are different from ordinary birds. They have a fat body. After peeling off the skin and washing it with water, the exposed meat is plump and shiny. You can even see marble stripes from it, which is very rare among flying birds.

When Winnie came back in the evening, Qin Shiou asked about the situation of those Ethiopians. Winnie shrugged helplessly and said, "They are just fighting in groups. They will be locked up for a few days at most, but the birds should have left when they were released. I hope they don't mess with them again." trouble."

Qin Shiou was not worried about this, he said: "It's okay, if those guys dare to mess around, I can do it with one hand and make their life worse than death!"

Two days later, it will be the weekend. Cuban Capale found Qin Shiou and asked, "Mr. Qin, spring is a good time to brew fresh beer. Would you like to enjoy the beer you brewed yourself?"

For a long time before, Qin Shiou was indeed too busy. He got married and went on honeymoon after marriage. On the way home from the honeymoon, he encountered a murder at sea. Later, he presided over the affairs of the Newfoundland Fisheries Alliance and wanted to buy a fishery. He never fulfilled his promise. Paley came to teach himself how to brew beer.

There is a beer hut in the fishing ground, but it is only used for drinking. In fact, it can be used for brewing beer, and there are some equipment that can be used directly.

Kapalai always remembered Qin Shiou's promise, because it was a good way to earn extra money.

It happened that there was nothing to do on the weekend, and the weather was fine, so Qin Shiou said, "No problem, buddy, I'll make some preparations today. How about you guiding us to make wine tomorrow?"

Kapalai smiled, showing two rows of white teeth: "I have already prepared the ingredients, and I can just make wine directly. And now there are so many short-tailed fulmars on the island. I can make you some great appetizers, it will be very good good."

talking. He patted his backpack, which was heavy, and he didn't know what was in it.

Since Kapalai said so, Qin Shiou couldn't refuse, so he asked his superiors and subordinates who were free to brew beer together.

Some of the fishermen were in No. 2 and No. 3 fishing grounds, and some went out to sea to catch fish. The rest were Heidao and others, they were the security force. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to go to sea.

Qin Shiou asked Heidao, "Can you brew beer?"

Hei Dao chuckled and said, "I'm good at drinking beer.

"

Qin Shiou rolled his eyes and asked him to call people over to learn how to brew beer, so that he would not have to buy alcohol from outside in the future, and had to drive to the town, which was very troublesome.

Entering the beer hut, he looked around the device inside, rubbed his hands, showed an honest smile, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Qin, shall I explain it to you now?"

Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Lao Ka. You are our teacher now, just treat us as apprentices."

Kapalai smiled and said, "I dare not. But then I will start. Mr. Qin, you have all the tools here, which can save the assembly process and save time. Let's proceed directly."

"Let me introduce to you first. Beer brewing is very simple. It is generally divided into three steps: malting, saccharification, and fermentation. If the fermentation is successful, we can drink to our heart's content."

The brewing setup in the beer hut is very homely, with pressure cookers, incubators, and glass buckets. Various glass bottles, thermometers. One-way air valve, funnel. Rubber tubes, etc., are combined together to become a small production line.

Kapalai introduced these equipments one by one: "This is a family workshop production line. In fact, Mr. Qin, you don't need to buy it. I can make a set for you. You see, this pressure cooker is used for boiling, and the incubator is used for saccharifying malt. The bucket is the fermenter, and his fermenter is very good, it is made of glass, and the brewed beer is the purest, with a more flavor than stainless steel. This glass bottle is used to divide the beer puree..."

When he finally saw the rubber tube, he squeezed it, shook his head and said: "This is not good, Mr. Qin, please replace it, this tube is aging, and when the maltose juice is sucked back, it will taste like rubber, which will be unpalatable gone."

After hearing this, Qin Shiou was a little worried, he didn't have a suitable substitute in his hand.

This hut has been bought for a year and a half, and it has been useless. It is normal for the rubber tube to age. In fact, people use edible standard rubber tubes, and the tubes will not produce rubber smell under normal circumstances.

Hei Knife drove to the town immediately, found a replacement in a hardware store, and after installing it, he was finally able to continue.

Kapalai coughed twice and was about to continue explaining, but when he turned his head and saw that Trigger was manipulating a camera to face him, he felt a little embarrassed, touched his nose and said, "Mr. Trigger, what are you doing?"

Trigger said as a matter of course: "I am recording, because my memory is not good, so I have to record it and go back and ponder it slowly."

Kapalai laughed and said: "It's not necessary, I will always take you with me, and brewing beer is actually very simple, you can learn it after brewing it yourself, the difference is nothing more than the heat of malt fermentation."

Qin Shiou waved his hand, pulled the trigger and put away the video recorder. Kapalai continued to explain: "For brewing, the first step is very important, and that is disinfection. In many cases, the reason why the beer is not made well is mostly because the disinfection is not done well. It's up to the yeast to do its job, and if there are other bacteria competing for the resource, the brew will be stale."

Disinfecting these devices has become a laborious task. Since Qin Shiou bought them, he has been idle, at most sitting at the bar and drinking some wine. These devices are quite dirty.

Kapalai said that detergent should not be used to clean the equipment. First, it has an odor and is difficult to remove when it is adsorbed on the plastic surface. Second, if there is any residue, it will cause the beer foam to not last long.

The beer hut has its own cleaning equipment, more than 20 kinds of brushes, long and short, and a specific disinfectant, which is specially formulated with alcohol. After adding water, disassemble the equipment and put it in, and the disinfection and sterilization can be completed in two minutes.

While waiting for the equipment to be disinfected, Kapalai opened the heavy backpack, which contained four bags of malt. Qin Shiou saw that each bag contained five kilograms. In order to save money, Kapalai came from a small town. No wonder this Sweaty in all weathers.

The grinder in the beer hut is specially designed for grinding malt. Plug in the power supply, click whining to rotate, and the malt will be ground quickly.

Kapalai crushed a few malts, looked at it, and exclaimed: "This is really a good machine, such a small motor can have such control."

Malt grinding requires that the wheat skin is broken but not broken, so that the shell is complete but the inner pulp has been broken, which is beneficial to improve the filtration speed. (to be continued)
