Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 61 Whiskey

It has been some time since Bruno traveled to this world, and Bruno suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

There is no maid by his side!

He raised his head and looked around, and all around him were a group of old men.

From Sabi to Lópida, and from Lópida to Liszt, Bruno has had three valets, but there is not even a valet.

I was single in my last life, so I can’t stay 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 have elephant legs, bucket waists, and even unicorn arms!

You must be a good at killing pigs and cows, but if you drag her over to be a personal maid, it's almost boring.

Bruno also wants to live a noble life without shame!

This is not a good thing about the border nobles. Unlike the rich land in the western part of the empire, the castles of noble gentlemen are densely packed close to each other. Even the banquets of noble ladies are one after another from morning to night.

However, if everything could be repeated and Bruno was allowed to choose, I am afraid he would still choose Idar.

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

…

It's a wonderful thing to sleep until you wake up naturally every day. No, it's already eight or nine o'clock when you wake up.

"It's all your fault, Liszt. You didn't know to call me earlier. Do you know how precious the time in the morning is?" Bruno, as usual, put all the blame for sleeping in on Liszt's head.

"Master... but what did you tell me about waking up late and ruining the morning, and waking up early to make the whole day stupid..." Liszt curled his lips and said aggrievedly.

"You bastard, you dare to talk back to me, I will deduct a coin from you!" Bruno raised his leg and gave him a light kick with his toe.

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

Bruno just ordered the carpenter to make the toothbrush a few days ago. It uses boar bristles, which are moderately soft and hard and connected to the bone handle, which is suitable for brushing teeth.

Toothpaste is replaced with freshly ground mint powder, which gives fresh breath and good effect.

The servants in the lord's castle have long been accustomed to the Earl's novel behavior.

People in this era did not have the awareness to brush their teeth. When they opened their mouths to speak, they always had big yellow teeth, and an unpleasant taste came from their mouths from time to time when speaking.

Therefore, in order to protect their fragile sense of smell, at Bruno's strong request, people such as Old Ford, Shabby, and Lister who often accompanied Bruno and communicated with him began to develop the habit of brushing their teeth every day.

It has been more than half a month since the war ended, and serfs and civilians are busy with spring plowing.

It can be said that Bruno is the only one in the entire Idar Territory who spends all day doing nothing and wandering around.

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

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

Nowadays, the wine-making process in this world is still in its infancy. There are only two common categories of wine, one is fruit wine such as wine, and the other is ale, which generally refers to beer.

The former mostly appeared at the banquets of nobles, while the latter were mostly concentrated in taverns on the streets.

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

As for what Bruno wants to brew, it is highly distilled liquor that is often over 40 or 50 degrees.

Only in this way can Idarling be able to quickly occupy the blank high-altitude wine market.

And the only thing he worries about is whether the nobles of this world can recognize highly distilled liquor!

Although he has a foundation of experience in his previous life, to be honest Bruno is still a little nervous.

Since Idar, or the Norman Empire, did not plant sorghum on a large scale, Bruno's original plan to brew liquor could only go bankrupt.

but!

But he can make brandy and whiskey!

The general definition of brandy is a wine made from grapes (fruit) as raw material, fermented, distilled, matured in barrels and blended.

Simply put, it means there are more distillation steps than today’s wine.

Whiskey is a highly distilled liquor brewed from 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 order to control costs and open up the market, he decided to avoid brandy and make whiskey directly from barley.

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

Moreover, whiskey can not only be brewed from barley, 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 gradually began to use doping methods to brew whiskey. Due to different raw materials and brewing methods, it can be divided into malt whiskey, grain whiskey, five-grain whiskey, and barley whiskey. There are five categories of malt whiskey and blended whiskey.

For today's Idarling, using barley to make whiskey is undoubtedly the best choice.

Before making whiskey, the barley needs to be soaked in water to cause it to germinate. UU read www.uukanshu.net and transfer the soaked barley to a special germination room to spread it out so that it can germinate evenly.

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

After germination, the barley is dried to retain the various amylase enzymes required for saccharification.

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

After that, fermentation takes place, and it only takes three to five days to form a puree wine of about seven degrees.

The resulting puree wine is then distilled. Since the boiling point of alcohol is lower than the boiling point of water, the alcohol will vaporize before the water, and then condense to form a liquid.

After repeating the above distillation steps three to four times, you can obtain distilled wine with a degree of about 60 or 70 degrees.

Orthodox whiskey also needs to put the new wine into oak barrels for aging and maturation. This can absorb and remove impurities in the wine, and give the wine color and flavor substances. It can also make the wine more mature 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.

After all, for the indigenous people of this world, even distilled liquor is their first time. They are not so picky about the taste. Drinking it vigorously is enough!
