The alcohol content of soju is generally above 38 degrees and below 60 degrees. Soju is a liquor made by distillation. It is transparent and colorless, has a high alcohol content and can burn when ignited. Also called liquor. The raw materials for distilled liquor are generally substances rich in natural sugar or starch that are easily converted into sugar. Such as honey, sugar cane, beets, fruits and corn, sorghum, rice, wheat potatoes, etc.

Alcohol is produced after sugar and starch are fermented by yeast. Taking advantage of the difference between the boiling point of alcohol (78.5℃) and the boiling point of water (100℃), the original fermentation liquid can be heated to a temperature between the two boiling points. Alcohol components and aroma substances are evaporated and collected.

Precautions for Liquor

Liquor is commonly consumed in my country. Compared with foreign wine or beer, liquor has an obvious difference, that is, it has a higher alcohol content. For example, the favorite Erguotou among our people can reach 56 degrees. Another example is Laobaigan, which can reach 67 degrees.

It is precisely because of these higher degrees that the liquor cellar in which it is stored has higher requirements, especially the extremely high temperature requirements. We know that alcohol is volatile. If the ambient temperature is high, it will volatilize. If the temperature is low, it is not convenient to store alcohol. Therefore, it is generally required to be between 10 degrees and 16 degrees, and the maximum cannot exceed 24 degrees.
