What is red tassel sorghum?

Red tassel sorghum is an organic waxy sorghum which is a specialty of Maotai Town. . It is the raw material of Maotai Town Maotai-flavor liquor.

It is also because of it that Maotai Town sauce wine has a pure sauce flavor. This kind of red sorghum can only be planted in the unique water, soil and climate environment of Maotai Town, which is one of the reasons why Maotai Town sauce wine cannot be copied. Different from other sorghum, the local red sorghum has small grains, thick skin and full grains, which can withstand repeated cooking. The locals call it "sand". It is precisely because of these characteristics of red sorghum that the soul craft of Khun Sa sauce wine has been achieved: nine times to cook wine and seven times to get wine.

Treatment method of sorghum

1, select raw materials for crushing.

Because of the high content of sorghum starch, the grain wine brewed with sorghum starch is more fragrant. First, clean the sorghum, and then crush it, so that cooking can be more convenient. Most of its crushing degree can be sieved.

Second, cooking.

The crushed sorghum is cooked in a pot, and the starch in it can be well gelatinized and used to the maximum extent. Cooking time depends on the crushing degree of raw materials, generally about half an hour. The raw materials can be cooked until the outside is crystal clear, not sticky, and the inside is cooked without heart.

Third, cooling.

The cooling time of cooked gelatinized raw materials varies according to the seasonal environment. In short, the temperature cannot be lowered.
