It is precisely because of the above-mentioned important medicinal value and health care value of mulberry, coupled with the centralized listing and difficult preservation of mulberry, that people try to make wine with mulberry. So what are the precautions in the brewing process of mulberry medicinal liquor? What are the commonly used formulas of mulberry medicinal liquor? Let's take a look together.
Matters needing attention of pickled mulberry medicinal liquor
1, choice of medicinal liquor
(1) must be real pure grain wine, and wine selection is the most critical step in brewing medicinal liquor. As we all know, according to recent media reports, more than 70% of liquor on the market is blended with edible alcohol+spices+cyclamate+water, and many of them are blended with edible alcohol under the banner of pure grain brewing. The biggest difference between the two kinds of wine is that pure grain brewed wine is naturally fermented. These natural substances will react chemically with medicinal materials to produce magical health care and medical effects. However, the ingredients added in edible alcohol blended wine are not very good for human body, which will affect the efficacy of destroying medicinal materials. Therefore, it is very important to choose soaking wine. If you accidentally choose alcohol blended wine as soaking wine, even the best medicinal materials will be wasted and even counterproductive. Therefore, pure grain wine must be selected for brewing medicinal liquor, and good medicinal materials and good wine can achieve the greatest effect of medicinal liquor. This kind of pure grain wine without additives is hard to find in the market. Here, the author recommends a Gu Yang Kang pure grain wine that I have been using. Only the wine brewed with real pure grain can achieve the greatest effect of medicinal liquor.
(2) Degree: Generally, it is best to use high-quality pure grain liquor with an alcohol content of 50 ~ 60 degrees for processing medicinal liquor. From the analysis of Chinese medicinal materials, both Chinese medicinal materials and animal medicinal materials contain water, and all contain bacteria and germs more or less. Only a slightly higher degree can kill bacteria and germs. Moreover, the exudation of water from medicinal materials will dilute the alcohol content, so it is appropriate to choose wine with higher degree. However, the low alcohol content is not conducive to the dissolution of effective components in Chinese herbal medicines, thus affecting the treatment and health care effects. Finally, from the perspective of quality assurance, low-alcohol wine combined with the dilution of medicinal materials has too high water content, which is not conducive to long-term preservation. In addition, the storage of wine will decrease over time. Therefore, it is better to choose 50-60 degrees wine for soaking wine.
(3) It is not easy to choose plastic barrel wine: many plastic barrel wines on the market, especially those with high alcohol content, are actually very bad. Be sure to choose a pottery jar or a glass bottle, and remember not to use a PET plastic bucket. Wine has corrosive effect, especially high alcohol content, which is easy to be mixed with some plastic barrel components when it is exposed to plastic barrels for a long time. For safety reasons, it is best not to soak wine in plastic barrels.
2. Selection and treatment of mulberries
When selecting mulberries, it is best to pay attention to full, thick, solid particles and no water. If the mulberry is dark in color and sweet in taste, the public should pay attention to it. It may be dyed. Therefore, the public must pay attention when buying.
Because the surface of mulberry is uneven, it is difficult to clean up the dirt in the gap. A little harder, the skin will break. When washing mulberries, first wash the surface of mulberries with tap water for a few minutes, then soak them in rice washing water (a little salt can be added), and then rinse them with clear water later. The soaking time should be controlled at 15 minutes.
3, the choice of container
You must choose pottery pots or glassware to soak medicinal liquor. If possible, ceramic jars are more suitable for storing wine than glass jars. In ancient times, we boiled traditional Chinese medicine and stored wine, which could accelerate the aging of wine. You can't choose plastic and metal utensils. Toxic substances are easy to escape from plastics and metals, or have toxic reactions. Glass and ceramics, however, will not produce the above situation. This is another important reason why I recommend Guyang Kangchun Grain and Wine to you. The capacity of the jar is 2300ML, but the actual capacity of the jar is 1500ML, leaving 800ML for medicinal materials. Their bottle mouth is 4CM in diameter and can be directly added with medicinal materials. This kind of wine is not only brewed with pure grain, but also with clay pots, which are specially used for brewing medicinal liquor.
