Phoenix Grand Lord

That night, Luo Wei first asked the serfs to bring a bag of barley and a bucket of clean drinking water to the lord's tent, and ordered people to prepare some necessary tools and containers, as well as yeast for fermentation.

After the tools were complete, Luo Wei dismissed everyone and tied the tent curtain from the inside.

Next, it was time to brew beer secretly!

Not to mention, Luo Wei was still a little excited.

After all, it has been almost a month since he traveled to the Regen world, and he has not eaten or drunk a bite of decent food or milk tea. If brewing beer this time is successful, it will undoubtedly alleviate some of the "homesickness".

Luo Wei first soaked some barley in clean water to make it germinate.

The reason for using barley is not only because barley itself is the basic raw material for brewing beer, but also because wheat is too precious.

If wheat is used to make beer, it will consume more wheat than barley, and the cost is also very high. After brewing, I am afraid that only nobles can afford it.

Luo Wei does not want to sell it only to nobles, but to the common people, taking the route of affordable prices to make beer, a great product, popular throughout the Regan world.

The cheaper oats and rye taste much worse than the sweetness of barley. With the brewing technology in the Regan world, it is also difficult to remove impurities in oats and rye, and there are no neutralizing additives to enhance the flavor.

Therefore, brewing the first batch of beer with barley is the most suitable choice.

After soaking the barley, Luo Wei went to bed to rest.

Letting the barley germinate is the first step in brewing.

There is ready-made malt on Earth, and even directly made malt juice, and the brewing process can be completed in three to five hours.

But in the Regan world, you have to wait for germination and make your own malt juice.

Of course, it is said that half-elves have a unique magic that can accelerate the growth and germination of plants.

However, half-elves are not easy to deal with.

…

On the fourth day.

The construction progress of the warehouse, water mill, and blacksmith shop was basically completed.

The output of iron arrowheads has also been greatly improved.

The pulley hoist will take another day, and the production capacity of wooden bows and wooden arrows is relatively stable.

In addition to the production and construction of the bell ringing army, they continue to carry out paramilitary training under the supervision of the training officer Xia Liz.

It can be said that the entire Merlin Valley is performing seriously, and everyone is looking forward to Master Luo Wei coming out of the lord's tent to see their positive performance.

However, after lunch, Master Luo Wei locked himself in the tent.

At this time, the soaked barley has sprouted, and the second step - drying can be carried out.

Drying is a very important link in the process of brewing beer.

The control of the drying temperature directly determines the sweet taste of the beer.

How to control the temperature depends on skills.

It is of course possible to dry malt with a furnace, but the temperature of the furnace is not easy to control.

Luo Wei tried to use his Phoenix power to heat and dry the malt.

The heat of Phoenix power is definitely higher than that of ordinary flames, even higher than that of magic flames.

More importantly, Luo Wei dissipates heat himself and can control the temperature more accurately.

So Luo Wei took off all his clothes, hugged a pot of malt and began to concentrate his consciousness.

The Phoenix power that was originally suppressed in his body was immediately released.

The whole lord's tent was full of heat.

Even outside the lord's tent, you can feel the warmth spreading.

In just two minutes, all the malts were baked in place.

Luo Wei looked inward and found that he only used one twentieth of his Phoenix power.

In other words, with the maximum limit of Phoenix power, Luo Wei can do it for 40 minutes in one go.

In the future, it will only be longer.

Batch baking is not a problem.

Luo Wei tasted a few grains of malt and nodded with satisfaction.

Baking with Phoenix power is even more perfect than baking with precision instruments on Earth.

The next third step is saccharification.

Luo Wei grinds the malt into powder, adds water, and continues to use his Phoenix power to heat his body. The starch in the malt is quickly converted into fermentable sugar.

And these sugars are wort.

After getting the wort, Luo Wei uses the temperature of the Phoenix power to quickly boil the wort, and adds hops during the boiling process.

Hops not only provide bitterness and preservation, but also add fragrance and sweetness.

Without this bitterness, the sweetness of the wort is difficult to stimulate.

It can be said that hops are the finishing touch of brewing beer.

After adding hops, the lord's tent is full of tempting fragrance.

Luo Wei himself feels a little drunk.

But now is not the time to taste.

Luo Wei immediately put on his clothes, opened the tent, and let the cold air blow in to cool the wort.

All the serfs passing by the tent looked at the lord's tent curiously.

After all, they had never smelled such an intoxicating smell before.

Of course, no one dared to ask.

When the wort was almost cooled, the next step was fermentation.

Rowe added barley bread yeast to ferment the wort.

Yeast will convert the sugar in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide bubbles.

This brewing technique is not available in the current Regan world, and it is also Luo Wei's absolute secret recipe.

In the future, when beer is mass-produced, Luo Wei will personally handle the baking process, the first fermentation process with yeast, and the second fermentation process, while other processes, such as germination, boiling wort, cooling, filtering, filling, storage, etc., can be handed over to other serfs.

In this way, the production speed can be guaranteed, and the secret recipe for brewing beer will not be obtained by others.

The first fermentation usually takes a few days.

After the first fermentation is completed, the wort is basically formed into beer, but it still needs to be fermented twice.

When it comes to the second fermentation, it is necessary to remove impurities in the wine, adjust the concentration with water, and enrich the taste.

After that, it is further fine filtering and preservation.

Finally, it is taken out for drinking.

Generally speaking, the whole cycle from germination to drinking takes at least 14 days.

Of course, the fermentation speed in the magic world will be faster, but 7 days is still necessary.

That night, Luo Wei couldn't help but secretly taste a sip of the wort base wine -

The taste of home, mellow and soulful.

The root of the tongue is bitter, but with every breath, the bitter taste will turn into sweetness.

This kind of sweet feeling, without some life experience, you can't experience the beauty of it.

After Luo Wei finished drinking, he fell drunk on the bed happily.

In the dream, he brought the loyal Xia Liz back to the earth world, eating barbecue, eating durian, eating hot and sour noodles, and drinking big draft beer.

In the dream, they ate and drank enough and returned home. Xia Liz, who was successfully trained, took off her armor and put on black stockings with affection.

Then...

Luo Wei spent the whole night looking for a toilet in his dream.
