Chinese Jiuqu(Yeast)-(500g Per Bag)

Step [1]

Take out the fermenter and add raw material or clinker, purified water, Jiuqu. It is recommended to use one kind of grain for fermentation of raw meal. The clinker should be cooked dry and cooked. If the bottom is burnt, do not add it to the fermentation. This is the source of bitterness in the fermentation. If you choose unhulled sorghum or corn with shells, you need to cook them off.(Steam the clinker before adding Jiuqu according to Step 2)

Step [2]

The raw material can be directly stirred until it is evenly mixed. For the clinker, first lower the temperature to below 40°C, then add grain and 30°C water into the fermenter and stir evenly, measure the temperature with a food-grade thermometer and cool down, then add Jiuqu and stir until uniform.
