It is said that beer was invented by the Sumerians in the Mesopotamians in the Mesopotamians.

In later generations, beer brewing mainly includes four processes: wheat making, saccharification, fermentation and packaging. Modern breweries generally no longer set up malt workshops, and the wheat making part is gradually peeled off from the beer production process.

So, as the first step, saccharification is actually to use the biological enzymes contained in the malt to decompose the raw malt and rice.

Through saccharification, starch is hydrolyzed into maltose, and other small amounts of monosaccharides, trisaccharides, oligosaccharides, proteins are hydrolyzed into amino acids, and other dipeptides and polypeptides containing two or more amino acid units.

The maltose and amino acids in the wort are absorbed by the yeast, and the yeast itself grows and reproduces, and at the same time metabolizes and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide...

In this way, the wort is converted into delicious beer, a process called fermentation, and the mature fermentation broth is filtered and sent to the packaging workshop and filled into beer sold on the market.

"Daguang, why did you have time to come to our sugar-making workshop to sweep? You have to drink beer to the filling workshop." Lu Xuguang also became famous in one battle. He sang a passage "Picking Red Ripe" when picking hops and became famous all over the factory, and now he is a celebrity in the factory.

"Come here and see if you can't. You won't let me see it." Lu Xu said with a smile, and kept looking at the equipment and people in the sugar-making workshop.

As the first process of beer brewing, saccharification equipment is also a key equipment for breweries. It is often the storefront of a factory, and saccharification equipment is also a permanent equipment and is updated very slowly.

Unlike the bottle washing workshop, it is very clean, but the temperature here is particularly high, and the air smells of a cleaning agent.

Lu Xuguang saw that there were many large stainless steel jars running, and the workers called them three pots and two tanks, namely: sugar-making pot, gelatinization pot, boiling pot, filter tank and precipitation tank.

This is the core of the entire saccharification system. The saccharification process is carried out in a closed manner, with water, malt, and hops being cooked into wort at high temperature.

"What are you looking at? You have to look at the technical department. There are many girls there." A middle-aged worker joked.

"I won't look at the girls, I'll come and see if I can save you some childbirth or something." Lu Xuguang said shamelessly.

There was a silence in the workshop, but a burst of laughter broke out immediately.

"Well, why are you laughing?" Lu Xuguang also heard the meaning of the laughter, but he was thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed.

"Daguang, you sing the two of you and let us take a break, and we work more vigorously, which can also promote production." Director Jiao from the sugar-making workshop walked over with a smile, "Everyone said, let Daguang give us a while, okay?"

"It's a must." Lu Xuguang scolded Banya without annoyance. Many people liked him, "But, I'm here to do a serious business today."

Director Jiao was also a little tired, and he wanted to make him breathe a sigh of relief, "The Chief Engineer Daguang, do you think we need improvements?"

Lu Xuguang pretended to be serious, and he looked around, "Director Jiao, which pot is a sugar-cooking pot?"

Wow—

There was another burst of laughter in the workshop, and some workers were so angry that they were overwhelmed. "Da Guang, this pot is different from the one you cook at home!"

"Daguang, do you want to help our sugar-making workshop? I can't see it, so you'd better sing the second one."

...

The workers teased the slightest bit of technical content here compared to brushing wine bottles. Lu Xuguang said with a huge face, "Don't look at people in the cracks in the door, look at people with a syrup pot, that's not a big deal for me."

But no matter how he said that, he still had no confidence and his voice was not as loud as when he was on the street.

He said enough and made enough trouble. An old worker smiled and said, "Daguang, wash your bottle well. If you wash more wine bottles, you may be able to become a regular one day earlier. You are not Qin Dong and you will not have the life." They also knew that these temporary workers had all survived that day. Who wouldn't want to become a regular one and get an extra twenty yuan salary.

However, there are only a few Qin Dongs in the factory. Didn’t a Qin Dong be released after six years of establishment?

Jiao Zhenghong also smiled, "Daguang's motivation is good. Our sugar-making workshop is the face of the factory and the first process. Our sugar-making workshop cannot keep up, which directly affects fermentation and filling. Everyone is working harder, so we can't let Secretary Zhou criticize us for falling behind!"

A brewery wants to expand its production capacity mainly depends on the improvement of saccharification capacity. There are two ways to improve saccharification capacity. One is to expand or add saccharification equipment, and the other is to increase the utilization rate of equipment and increase the number of saccharification times.

Increasing sugar-shaving equipment requires investment, but the problem cannot be solved for the time being. To increase the number of sugar-shaving times, under certain conditions, a significant increase in the process is required.

Investment and craftsmanship are problems that Lu Xuguang cannot solve, so Qin Dong chose to let him "make a small fuss" on the original equipment.

"Director Jiao, I have it." Lu Xuguang walked around the sugar-cooking pot he had just met for a few times, and then came over again.

"What's there? Are there children?" A young worker laughed, which attracted another laugh.

"Daguang, I'm grateful for my kindness," Jiao Zhenghong was still a good person. "I'm busy, and I'll listen to you sing a 2-man song when I have time..." After that, he climbed up the second floor and directed the workers to feed the sugar-cooking pot.

Now we are still using traditional saccharification methods to produce beer. Each pot is saccharified eight times a day, and the efficiency is still relatively high.

Seeing that the people in the sugar-making workshop were busy and ignored him, Lu Xuguang walked out of the workshop hatefully. He dragged his water shoes to the maintenance team again, but Qin Dong was not there, "Where did you go there?"

Just as Lu Xuguang was about to go out, he saw Qin Dong coming towards him with a tool kit, "Why, have you touched the south wall?"

"They don't believe it, what can I do?" Lu Xuguang hugged Qin Dong, "Give me an idea, what are you doing next?"

"You go find..." Qin Dong lowered his voice with a smile, "You tell him like this, he is very enthusiastic..."

The sugar-making workshop is arranged on two floors, and the pot trough on the first floor is supported directly. The second floor is mainly a feeding room, which is to send malt and rice into the sugar-making pot along the pipeline. This two-story building is the main landscape of the entire factory.

"Daguang, talent," Wu Geng praised, "He knows how to sing a two-person spin, and can transform the sugar-cooking pot. I notified Secretary Zhou and Director Chen. Secretary Zhou is still in the district and is here to rush back soon. Don't let me down."

"No...how can it be," Lu Xuguang slapped his chest, "Do it alive, if you die, I spit it out as a nail..." He was excited and said in a difficult manner.

"I love to hear these words, it's exciting!" Wu Geng pushed his black-framed glasses, and his eyes shot directly from behind the lenses. "However, why do I sound so familiar to me?"

"I say so in my hometown." This is Qin Dong's oral words. Lu Xudong was stunned, but he still said arrogantly.

Since Lu Xuguang was the first person to want to be on the hero list in this production saving movement, and he looked for Wu Geng that day, the factory leaders attached great importance to it. When Wu Geng and Lu Xuguang walked into the sugar-making workshop, Director Jiao of the sugar-making workshop led the deputy director and section chief of the first squad to greet him.

"Daguang, what kind of monster did you become?" Jiao Zhenghong said politely, "You don't even know the sugar-cooking pot. This is not your cooking pot. If you want to change it, just change it?!" He turned to Wu Geng again and said, "Director Wu, we are preparing to serve the ingredients. Isn't this a delay?"

Wu Geng slapped Jiao Zhenghong and smiled carelessly, "What's the delay? Everyone has the responsibility for the production and saving movement. It's delayed that Secretary Zhou and Director Chen are holding on. You do what you do, let Daguang talk about his ideas, and the sky collapses?"

"Just listen to him fooling you," Jiao Zhenghong was completely dissatisfied. "I'll go to Xiong Yongfu later. His workers have been transformed into our sugar-making workshop. From then on, the sugar-making workshop will let him Xiong Yongfu serve as the director of the workshop, Director Wu, are you talking about this joke?"

"Da Guang, are you fooling me?" Wu Geng comforted Jiao Zhenghong and patted Lu Xuguang on the shoulder, "When the secretary and factory director are here, you can't bring out the real thing. I'll tell you, you can't accept this incident!"

"I..." Lu Xuguang felt a heat gushing through his throat, and his heart beat even more violently. However, he saw a figure entering the sugar-shaving workshop, and then he let out a sigh of relief, "Do it alive, die, I'll take you this scene!"
