Speaking of bran-flavored liquor, it is a sauce-flavored liquor made by inoculating it with bran. The low cost of brewing, the high yield and the high efficiency of branqu sauce liquor are not only the reasons for the koji, but also related to its grain consumption, fermentation time and other factors.
Branqu sauce wine to brew sorghum needs to be broken, from a certain aspect, branqu sauce wine is also broken sand wine, of course, broken sand wine is not all bran qu sauce wine, it also has other styles to show. This is also the reason why the aroma of branqu sauce wine is not delicate and elegant, and the taste is soft and mellow, and it is not rich enough.
Because the grain is broken, the brewing of branqu sauce liquor is not a production cycle every year, and it basically belongs to circular brewing. The fermentation time of branqu sauce liquor is not long enough, and the fermentation time of Qianpai branqu sauce liquor is about 21 days per time, compared with the northern distillery because of the cold climate environment, the fermentation time will be extended to more than 30 days in winter, and it is precisely because of this that some northern branqu sauce wine has a bit of a thick feeling.
Speaking of bran koji sauce sake brewing, the resulting sake has a pronounced bran and sesame aroma because it is made of bran. In addition, its brewing process will use a certain proportion of wheat, wheat can make the bran sauce wine sauce more obvious, its high temperature fermentation can produce a comfortable caramel, and it is precisely because of this, the main aroma of the bran sauce wine is sauce, caramel, paste, sesame, bran flavor of the compound aroma, and the aged bran sauce wine will also have an elegant aroma.
Although the main aroma of bran sauce liquor is similar to that of Daqu sauce liquor, the proportion of its various aromas is completely different from that of mainstream Daqu sauce liquor, the main body of mainstream Daqu sauce liquor highlights the sauce aroma, followed by caramelization, and finally paste, while branqu sauce liquor, sauce aroma is often weak, the main body is bran, sesame and caramel. In contrast, the northern pie bran qu sauce liquor is mainly bran and sesame flavor, and the south pie bran qu sauce liquor is mainly caramelized and sesame, and this style difference is greatly affected by the climate. Of course, the process is also a very important factor, some distilleries in Guizhou brewed bran qu sauce wine, by reducing the temperature of the culture of bacteria, accumulation of fermentation temperature, but also brewed a style similar to the northern bran qu sauce wine. In addition, many Daqu sauce liquor has a pleasant quxiang, which is not possessed by branqu sauce liquor, Daqu sauce liquor due to the large amount of koji, so the wine will have the aroma of koji, and the high-quality Daqu that has a long aging time will also have an elegant atmosphere.
In terms of taste, there is also a clear difference between branqu sauce wine and Daqu sauce wine, a good Daqu sauce wine is mellow, delicate, elegant, and some even have a pleasant feeling, bran qu sauce wine can be mellow, but it can not be delicate, after all, its microorganisms involved in fermentation are not as rich as Daqu sauce wine. In terms of tail flavor, the tail flavor of the bran qu sauce wine is relatively monotonous, and the main body of the main fragrance based on caramel and sesame aroma is prominent, and the aftertaste is not elegant enough. It is precisely for these reasons that the quality of bran sauce wine is significantly inferior to that of high-quality Daqu sauce wine. I have drunk the best quality branqu sauce wine, and the quality is only the level of medium and high-end sauce wine, and there is still a certain gap between quasi-high-end, high-end and ultra-high-end sauce wine.
