Fuzhou Minhou and Changle have the custom of cooking sweet potatoes by themselves. Just like the green wine brewed in Cangshan, Fuzhou and Jin 'an countryside.
As the name implies, sweet potato burning is brewed with sweet potato (sweet potato).
Firstly, the sweet potato is washed, steamed, added with distiller's yeast, and distilled to obtain wine. The general level is not high. Everyone has a different degree of mastery of technology and materials, and the degree of burning is also different.
Those who do good deeds have a minimum of about 15 degrees and a maximum of 28 degrees.
In summer, sweet potatoes are burned with orange soda, which was a summer drink for children 30 years ago. How many memories of Fuzhou people are carried.
When food was scarce, farmers could only use sweet potatoes as coarse grains to make wine. However, due to backward technology and extensive processing, many unqualified wines were brewed. For example, the original head of sweet potato is moldy and rotten, the burnt wine is also polluted, and the formaldehyde exceeds the standard, which hurts people to death.
Equipment processing technology At present, there are small workshops for burning sweet potatoes in various towns and villages in Minhou.
Retail and wholesale prices range from 8 yuan to 15 per catty. Suitable for some people who love alcohol.
How many degrees is not necessarily.
Sweet potato is too weak to burn, mainly because of the time of shochu.
The degree of sweet potato soju depends on the local technology. Yes, it tastes faint, not as strong as other liquors, which is a big mistake. In 1980s, I was lucky enough to drink a local distilled sweet potato shochu in Qingpu Village, Minhou County. The host's enthusiasm often advises me to drink. As a result, I can usually drink half a catty of 52-degree liquor, but only one catty of sweet potato soju actually makes me drunk. Maybe everyone doesn't know the medicinal value of sweet potato shochu. In the 1960s and 1970s, many heavy manual workers, such as dockers, car loaders and porters, drank half a catty after finishing their work in summer to cool off the heat.
Sweet potato burning is a magical existence and a good wine, but you really need to take it easy, don't feel too weak, you don't know when.
The alcohol content of freshly brewed head water is quite high. Under normal circumstances, the sweet potato cooked in our head water is used as medicinal liquor, and the alcohol content in the subsequent head water drops to about 10 degrees. Rural people are tired from work, so they can drink to keep fit. Working in summer can relieve the heat.
