"The medicinal powder is quite good. It can be used as yeast for wine. Then let's prepare for the next step."
Ye Mo looked at Liu Yinlan with a humble expression.
"Honey, is the rice ready?"
"It's already steamed. Just get it from the kitchen..."
After Liu Yinlan finished speaking, she went to play with her granddaughter.
Ye Mo and Ye Ming looked at each other.
Ye Mo slapped Ye Ming on the shoulder.
"What are you still looking at? Let's go and move the rice. When the rice wine is brewed, I'll take care of the distillation and the medicine..."
Ye Ming and Ye Mo worked together to move a large pot of rice out of the kitchen.
Next is the common process of making rice wine.
First, cool the steamed rice with cold boiled water until it is cool enough to touch.
Then pour the rice into the jar (the large jar must be disinfected with boiling water first) and add the ground medicine powder.
Because it is fresh medicinal material, the bacterial activity here is quite good. After sprinkling the koji, mix the koji and rice evenly.
The temperature required to brew rice wine is about 15 degrees.
Since the beginning of autumn in November this year, the temperature dropped rapidly, so Ye Ming and Ye Mo specially wrapped a blanket around the outside of the large vat.
Use your hands to dig a big hole in the middle of the rice. This will help the wine sauce seep out and also speed up the brewing process.
Just prepare it first, wrap it with a quilt, and then put the large jar of rice mixed with koji in a cool place.
After waiting for more than twenty days, the rice wine will be almost ready. After it has dried, it will be distilled to increase the alcohol content. Then it can be soaked in some medicinal herbs and buried in the ground.

(This winemaking process is really possible. As for the rice, you can use the rice you usually eat. But be careful to make sure the temperature of the rice is not hot to the touch when rinsing it with cold water. Otherwise, the high temperature may kill the bacteria in the koji and affect the winemaking. PS: I applied for the contract for the new book in the afternoon and it was approved in the evening. It was so fast that I was overwhelmed.)
