The requirements for water quality in liquor brewing are quite strict, because the quality of water quality will directly affect the quality of liquor. However, it is important to note that water quality is not the main factor in determining the quality of a wine, because the winemaking process is the key to determining the quality of a wine.
When choosing brewing water, we need to pay attention to several important indicators, including hardness, alkalinity, and pH.
First of all, hardness is an indicator of how hard water is, and it mainly affects the taste and appearance of water. Water with high hardness causes sediment to form in the wine, which affects the clarity and taste of the wine. Therefore, when choosing brewing water, we need to choose water with moderate or low hardness.
Secondly, alkalinity and pH are also important indicators of water quality. Alkalinity indicates the total amount of alkaline substances in the water, while pH indicates how acidic or alkaline the water is. For winemaking, proper alkalinity can reduce the acidity of the wine, making it more harmonious and balanced. A pH that is too high or too low will affect the taste and stability of the wine.
In addition to hardness, alkalinity and pH, there are other indicators to pay attention to, such as the content of toxic substances such as chloride, heavy metals, cyanide, and hygiene indicators such as E. coli count. High levels of these substances can cause harm to human health and therefore need to meet national health standards.
In short, the requirements for water quality in liquor brewing are quite strict, but water quality is not the main factor that determines the quality of liquor. When choosing brewing water, we need to pay attention to indicators such as hardness, alkalinity and pH, and ensure that the water quality meets national health standards. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the influence of other factors on the quality of the wine, such as the quality of the raw materials, the brewing process and the storage conditions. Only by taking these factors into account can we make high-quality liquor.
