While Donn was making the koji, Durandon, Klotto, and the dwarves around him were all staring and watching, but ......

They don't understand.

However, because they couldn't understand it, they were even more curious.

It seems that what he is doing has nothing to do with winemaking, but after seeing those things that Don En has made, he looks relieved, doesn't it mean that what he is doing now has a lot to do with winemaking......

So they watched more intently.

Don didn't pay any attention to them and continued to get busy.

Once the koji is in place, the next step is to use magic to fully steam the barley, then move it into the fermentation tank, sprinkle it with the newly cultivated koji, and begin saccharification and fermentation.

In the case of normal fermentation, it takes at least two or three days, and then it has to be moved into the fermentation tank for a second sealed fermentation, but with the help of nora, it is completely different.

This little guy's life force can catalyze this process, allowing the fermentation to be completed in a short period of time.

[Nora, help. 】

[Okay, what to do?] 】

[Just leave the power to me.] 】

Don once again used Nora's power to start catalyzing fermentation, and at the same time, the mage's hand kept turning the steamed barley, so that the koji and barley were fully stirred, and under the catalysis of life force, the barley that had been cooled began to heat and ferment again, and after about the same time, Donn directly wrapped all the barley with magic power, completely isolated from the air, and then catalyzed the fermentation again.

The process of secondary fermentation is relatively long, but it is under the influence of nora. It was completed in less than an hour. And this time. It's just noon.

Don finally smiled when he opened a gap and smelled the thick smell of alcohol coming from inside.

Fermentation to this extent is already possible, but if the sake continues to ferment without steaming now, it will soon turn into vinegar.

Don then revoked Nora's life force, moved the fermented barley into the steamer, connected it to the condenser, and began steaming.

Due to the convenient magical powers, the steps of steaming sake are not as cumbersome as on Earth. Whether it is the flow of water or flames, Donn can control it very precisely, and the condenser is even more effective under the effect of ice magic.

As the boiling steam passes through the grain and takes away the alcohol from it, it soon begins to flow out of the condenser tube next to it.

This pot steamed about 100 catties of barley, although the wine rate of barley on the earth is about 30% to 40%, but it is almost impossible to produce 40% pure wine, and the steamed wine will fade out of a bird, Tang En tasted the last steamed wine here, and there are still more than 30 degrees, and the result is finally steamed out There are more than 40 catties of pure wine. The high rate of alcohol production is amazing!

Don fermented a lot of barley at the beginning, so he simply steamed it all in one go. In the end, I got more than 450 catties of barley liquor, of course, it can also be called barley soju.

Smelling the barley soju that had just been steamed out and still exuded the smell of grain, Don En began to swallow his saliva, not to mention the dwarves around him who were good at wine, one by one craned his neck and stared straight at his eyes, leaning forward vigorously, and his nose inhaled the smell of wine in the air.

Don is not a good drinker, but he used to drink some baijiu occasionally when he went to some parties, but since he tried to steam baijiu himself, he saw the so-called pure grain wine sold in the market.

The real pure grain wine is just a smell, you can drink it after tasting it, just like this barley wine, it smells a strong wheat fragrance, and it is more comfortable and soft to drink in the mouth, which is what pure grain wine should be.

And those so-called pure grain wines sold on the market? If you don't mix industrial alcohol, it's a conscience......

Durandon and Klotto, who were next to them, were stunned to see that Donn had actually steamed out the wine in the end, and it was wine that they had never seen before.

Smelling the strong smell of wheat, the wine worm in Durandon's stomach was hooked, and he looked at Don with a blank eye: "Don En, what kind of wine is this?" So fragrant? ”

Tang En smiled faintly: "Of course, what is made from barley is barley wine, but this is barley liquor, which is different from beer." ”

"Barley liquor...... Can I taste it? ”

"Of course you can, but this wine is strong, you-"

Without waiting for Donn to finish, Durandon picked up the spoon next to him and scooped it into his mouth.

The next moment, Durandon's eyes widened, and he almost squirted out the wine in his mouth, but I don't know if it was because he was reluctant, he actually held it back again, tasted it in his mouth for a moment and swallowed it.

Then he stayed there, his face quickly turning red.

"Can you get me some?"

Krotto is not an alcoholic, but he is happy to try something new.

"Absolutely."

Tang En gave him some wine and said with a smile: "Drink it slowly to taste the taste." ”

Krotto took a small sip and frowned, as if it was a little difficult to accept the taste, and after a while, he took another sip, this time, he finally tasted the thick smell of wheat inside, closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while before drinking it.

"It's hard to describe, the entrance feels ...... It's soft, it's completely different from beer, but when you swallow it, it's like a fire, it's very powerful, and it's more stimulating than lava beer......"

Tang En took a sip himself, shook his head and said, "The mouth is soft, and the throat is a line." ”

"I don't understand, but it's soft on the palate, and the rich barley aroma is very good, can you give me some to take?"

Croto seems to be in love with Barley Liquor and asks Donn for a small jug.

"Be careful, this thing could easily catch fire."

Don En advised, I don't know if the barley and koji here in Plandal are more domineering or Nora's life force is too perverted, the barley is very well fermented, so the degree of steamed wine is also very high, and guessing from the feeling of the entrance, the degree is probably sixty or seventy degrees.

"This wine, this wine is really ...... That's great! ”

At this point, Durandon finally came to his senses and rushed over and grabbed Donn's hand.

Don looked at Durandon inexplicably, and looked at Durandon's embarrassment.

Durandon coughed dryly, and said seriously: "Speaking of big brothers, ......"

"Wait! Your dad Brian calls me big brother, and you call me big brother too? ”

Durandon laughed: "Oh, it doesn't matter, everyone is a family, isn't it......"

"Don't hide it if you have something to say—can you let go of your hand first? It feels weird. ”

Durandon let go of Don and said with a dry smile, "That Don, can you keep some of these wines for me?" ”

"We'll talk about that later."

Don rolled his eyes angrily, and then said to Groca next to him, "Long waiting." ”

Groca swallowed his saliva, but deliberately made a disdainful expression on his face: "Is it finally okay?" Hurry up and then I'll be able to go to lunch! ”

"Please."

Don smiled and handed over the barrel, he was very disgusted, the barrel was the most fragrant and the biggest.

"Hmph, you're doomed!"

Grocca looked disdainful, but couldn't wait to take the barrel.

Don was speechless, are the dwarves all such honest dead tsunderes?

"Hmph, let me try this so-called barley liquor you made."

Groca opened the lid, and the strong aroma of wine that had disappeared came out again, and the dwarves around watched with amazement that Groka could enjoy a new barrel of wine to himself, but they could only watch, not to mention how envious they were.

"Goo" Groka swallowed again, after just a few hours, the beer he drank before had been discharged, and the strength of the wine was completely gone, and now he suddenly smelled such an alternative and fragrant wine, he could hardly restrain his impulse, and as soon as he raised his head, he drank it!

Won......

Seeing Groca's drinking posture, Don showed an inexplicable smile, these dwarves are used to drinking beer, they don't know how powerful the liquor is, and this is still a drink of more than seventy degrees, it is strange that he is not drunk in this way of drinking.

Sure enough, as Don expected, after a few sips, Groka suddenly put down the barrel, and the wine in his mouth also squirted out, and began to gasp rapidly, and his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Don smiled and said, "How?" Throw in the towel? ”

"Huh, nonsense! The people of the Great and the Earth have never, and will not admit defeat! ”

Groca roared by the neck, but he didn't even notice that his tongue was bigger, and not only did he stutter, but his feet began to flutter.

Donn shrugged and made a gesture of please.

After resting for a moment, Groka gritted his teeth, grabbed the barrel again, and raised his head to drink under the gaze of all the dwarves!

But after only a few sips, he couldn't hold it anymore, and as soon as his hand was weak, the barrel slipped out, and he rolled under the table, which stabbed the hornet's nest, and the dwarves who had been drooling for a long time under the table rushed up, and at this time they didn't care if they were brothers and sisters beside them, and desperately scrambled for the barrel just to drink a new sip of wine.

"Get out of the way! That's mine! It's mine! ”

"Fuck off! I got it first! ”

"Damn! You took it from me! ”

"Damn it, I'm going to duel you - I've just gotten a little taste!"

"You've got it! I was snatched as soon as I got my hands on it - who kicked my ass!? ”

There was a commotion under the stage, but Durandon had no intention of stopping it at all, he pointed at Groca and suddenly laughed wildly: "Ahahahaha-Groca, you also have today!?" Look, Groca, the drunkard champion, is finally drunk! ”

There was silence under the platform, and everyone looked at Groca, but he was completely unsteady on his feet, and his body was shaky, and if he hadn't held on to the barrel next to him, he would have fallen to the ground.

Soon, however, their attention returned to the half-barrel and they were once again coaxing. (To be continued.) )
