How to Brew Yellow Wine with a Newfly Health Pot A Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction:

Yellow wine, also known as huangjiu in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese beverage that has been enjoyed for centuries. Made from fermented rice, it is known for its unique aroma, flavor, and health benefits. If you have a Newfly Health Pot, you can easily brew your own yellow wine at home. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to brew yellow wine using a Newfly Health Pot.

Step 1: Gather the Ingredients

Before you start brewing yellow wine, gather the following ingredients:

- 500 grams of rice

- 100 grams of yellow wine lees (yellow wine yeast)

- 10 liters of clean water

- A Newfly Health Pot

- A clean cloth or cheesecloth

- A fermentation jar or container

Step 2: Prepare the Rice

Start by washing the rice thoroughly in running water until the water runs clear. This will remove any impurities or starches from the rice. Once the rice is clean, soak it in water for about 2 hours to soften it. After soaking, drain the rice and set it aside.

Step 3: Soak the Yellow Wine Lees

Next, soak the yellow wine lees in clean water for about 30 minutes. This will rehydrate the yeast and make it more active during the fermentation process.

Step 4: Combine Rice and Water

In the Newfly Health Pot, combine the soaked rice and the 10 liters of clean water. Stir the mixture well to ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the water.

Step 5: Boil the Mixture

Place the Newfly Health Pot on the stove and heat the mixture to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes. During this time, stir the mixture occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Step 6: Add the Yellow Wine Lees

After the rice has cooked, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down to room temperature. Once cooled, add the soaked yellow wine lees to the mixture. Stir well to combine the rice, water, and lees.

Step 7: Ferment the Mixture

Transfer the mixture to the fermentation jar or container, and cover it with a clean cloth or cheesecloth to allow for proper aeration. Place the jar in a warm, dark place with a constant temperature of around 25-30 degrees Celsius. Let it ferment for about 10-15 days, stirring the mixture every few days to ensure even fermentation.

Step 8: Taste and Adjust

After the fermentation period, taste the mixture to determine if it has reached the desired sweetness and flavor. If needed, adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or lees. Stir well to incorporate any additional ingredients.

Step 9: Filter the Mixture

Once you are satisfied with the taste, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solid particles. This will ensure a clear, smooth yellow wine.

Step 10: Store and Serve

Transfer the filtered yellow wine to clean bottles or jars, making sure to leave some space at the top to accommodate the expansion of the wine as it ages. Store the bottles in a cool, dark place. After a few months, your homemade yellow wine will be ready to enjoy.

Conclusion:

Brewing yellow wine with a Newfly Health Pot is a simple and rewarding process. By following this step-by-step guide, you can create your own delicious, homemade yellow wine that you can enjoy with friends and family. Happy brewing!
