Then pour it into the pot, add more than two-thirds of the highland barley volume and boil.
When the water in the pot has been absorbed by the highland barley, the fire should not be too hot.
While cooking, use a wooden stick to turn the highland barley up and down to make the highland barley in the pot cooked, and use your fingers to pinch the grains at any time.
If it is still not rotten, add a little water and continue cooking.
When cooked, take off the pot and let it dry for 20-30 minutes.
At this time, the water in the pot has been absorbed by the highland barley.
After the highland barley is warmed, spread it on a clean cloth and sprinkle with distiller's yeast.
When making koji, if the highland barley is too hot, the highland barley wine will become bitter; if it is too cold, the highland barley will not ferment easily.
