Rice Wine Brewing Tanks Manufacturer
Rice wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. Unlike grape wines, which are produced by fermenting the sugars in fruit, rice wine is made by fermenting the starches in rice. This fermentation process typically involves the use of a mold, yeast, and sometimes additional ingredients to break down the rice starches into sugars, which are then converted into alcohol.
Types of Rice Wine:
Sake: Perhaps the most famous type of rice wine, sake is a Japanese alcoholic drink with a wide range of flavors and alcohol content, typically around 15-20%.
Mirin: A sweet rice wine commonly used in Japanese cooking, particularly in sauces and marinades.
Shaoxing Wine: A Chinese rice wine, often used in cooking but also enjoyed as a beverage. It has a distinct amber color and rich, complex flavor.
Makgeolli: A Korean rice wine with a milky appearance and a slightly sweet, tangy flavor, usually lower in alcohol content.
Production Process:
1) Rice Cleaning and storage
2) Rice Transferring
3) Rice Soaking
4) Cooking Rice
5) Cooked rice cooling
6) Primary Fermentation
Ferment the mash under controlled conditions, to convert the starches into sugars and then into alcohol.
The fermentation temperature should be controlled during the primary fermentation tank.
7) Main Fermentation:
The fermentation liquor will be pumped to the main fermentation tank after the primary
fermentation.
8) Pressing and Filtration:
After fermentation is complete, press the fermented mash to separate the liquid (rice wine) from the solids (lees).
Filter the rice wine to remove any remaining solids and impurities, resulting in a
clear liquid ready for aging.
9) Aging:
Transfer the filtered rice wine to aging tanks or barrels for maturation. Aging allows flavors to develop and harmonize, resulting in a smoother and more complex product.
