Chapter 99 Whole Malt Beer
A heavy snow fell quietly, and the fertile fields were covered with white and clean.
When Audi drove through the streets of Stone City, the small town was quite lively, and the whole city was dispatched to clean up the snow.
At this time, snow removal has not yet been mechanized, so there is a snow sweeping sharing area for schools, institutions, enterprises and institutions. It is everyone’s obligation to remove snow.
Shicheng Beer is located in the outskirts of the city, and there is no need to clean the snow in the factory. A road that has been swept out in front of the factory is cleared. The thick poplar trees with leaves falling off both sides stand tall in the wind, looking down at the workers riding bicycles to work in the morning.
"Call Zhao Shilin here." As soon as I went to work, Zhong Xinghuo ordered the factory to run the factory. This was the technical master in the factory and the first fermentation major graduate of Shanhai Light Industry College after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Almost all of their graduates have become the backbone of breweries in various places. Factory directors and chief engineers are common.
As the chief engineer of Shicheng Brewery, Zhong Xinghuo relied heavily on him. Due to his high technical level, Qin Beer came to poach people several times, but Zhao Shilin was grateful to Zhong Xinghuo's reputation and refused several times.
"Manager, do you want to make whole-grain beer?" Zhao Shilin hesitated a little. "European beer is almost all whole-grain beer. There are not many beers in breweries everywhere. I am afraid that the people will not accept this taste."
my country's beer industry has increased steadily during the 85th Five-Year Plan period, and its output is close to that of Germany, a major beer producer. However, in terms of patterns, varieties, and production technology and equipment, there is still a certain gap with developed countries.
Whole-grain beer is rare on the market at this time.
However, as an ancient beer variety, whole-grain beer has a prominent malt aroma and a mellow body, which is very popular in Europe.
In Germany, according to the purity rules of its brewing, most beers are pure ale, and in Belgium, Denmark, and Pilsner beers account for more than 50% of the market.
"Old Zhao," Zhong Xinghuo looked at the notebook in his hand. "China now has bid farewell to the era of shortage and to the Chinese people in the era of shortage. They have a consumption mentality of returning to nature. This kind of beer will inevitably have a place in the market."
Zhao Shilin sat down opposite Zhong Xinghuo, "But the development direction of my country's beer is low-grade, light-hearted... You are the beer produced by Rong Beer Factory No. 2, this type..."
Zhong Xinghuo laughed. Who is the director of Rong Beer Factory No. 2? Isn’t it Qin Dong? He can produce light and refreshing beer and the market response is very good. Consumers of this kind of whole-grain beer will definitely accept it.
"The factory has already been decided," Zhong Xinghuo looked at the watch. "I produced all-mill beer before the New Year. As our first product after the joint venture, it will fully promote it to the market."
The factory manager decided that the chief engineer had to execute the matter. Zhao Shilin thought for a while and said, "The factory manager, the process of whole-marinated beer is different from the current process of our factory. There are specific requirements for raw materials such as malt, yeast, etc., and fermentation processes. Does the German consultant have a ready-made process plan?"
Although Zhong Xinghuo is the factory manager, he only has a slight understanding of technology. Zhao Shilin believes that he needs to remind him.
German consultant Zhong Xinghuo remained silent. The Germans were just "actors" invited by Qin Dong. Who knew whether they would brew beer? But this was highly confidential and he could not let Zhao Shilin know.
Zhao Shilin looked at him and thought he thought that he had thought of the whole-grain beer very simple, so he simply explained the problem thoroughly. "Cartain Director, the whole-grain beer does not add any auxiliary materials when brewing. Under conventional craftsmanship, even if it is brewed with high-quality malt, it will inevitably lead to the high acidity of wort and beer and the dark color, which cannot meet the requirements of international regulations, and it will not meet the style of light and refreshing beer..."
Zhong Xinghuo looked at him, "Old Zhao, you are the first graduate of Shanqing Fermentation Major, Mei Yuxiu Mei Lao..."
Zhao Shilin's face immediately became solemn, "That's our old dean and a master of the Chinese beer industry."
He thought Zhong Xinghuo was asking him to ask Mr. Mei for advice, but he was a little embarrassed. "Mr. Mei is retired now. I heard that he is in poor health and can't disturb him rashly. However, he has four students who value it very much..."
oh?
Seeing that Zhong Xinghuo was very interested, Zhao Shilin continued, "One named Tan Kai, but he is in the United States. I heard that Mr. Mei was very angry and never saw him."
"There is another one who teaches in the department, who is one class lower than me. He is named Dong Qingkun. He has a high technical level. You can ask him for advice on the whole wheat beer... There is another one who works in the department. I heard that he is already the director, and the last one..." He looked at Zhong Xinghuo's appearance and felt a little embarrassed.
A few days ago, the Rongbe army was approaching, and Zhong Xinghuo could not eat well and sleep well. The whole factory knew that he had no good impression of Qin Dong.
"The last one is Qin Dong." Zhong Xinghuo said on his own initiative. At this point, he felt confident. He turned around to comfort Zhao Shilin, "We have German consultants in terms of technology, so you don't have to worry too much. By the way, are you familiar with Qin Dong?"
"I haven't seen it before. He is the general manager of Rong Beer," Zhao Shilin smiled, "How can I see it..."
"Oh," Zhong Xinghuo was completely relieved, "At 11 o'clock, we went to the city, and the German consultant arrived. By the way, what is his name... Yes, it's Leo..."
...
Qin Dong and the German Leo quietly entered the Stone City. In name, the Germans were consultants in the factory, but he used to work in that small beer "workshop" and Qin Dong didn't understand his real technical level.
Shicheng Hotel.
When Qin Dong's Audi stopped, Zhong Xinghuo brought Zhao Shilin to welcome him. Zhong Xinghuo didn't want anyone to know about Qin Dong's arrival, so he only brought Sun Huifang to take charge of the record.
"Qin..."
Looking at Qin Dong walking off the Audi car, Sun Huifang subconsciously opened her mouth, but Qin Dong just shook his head slightly, and the smart girl understood what he meant and immediately laughed.
A while ago, the two factories were fighting fiercely, and now Zhong Xinghuo is greeting him personally. What is the reason?
But if Qin Dong didn't say it, Zhong Xinghuo didn't say it, Sun Huifang didn't ask.
The group walked into a suite in the hotel. Zhao Shilin was observing Qin Dong all the way. He found that this "translation" was very talkative, and the German didn't know if he could understand Chinese, so he looked at the translator along the way.
"Whole-grain beer is a type of craft beer. There are many types of craft beer, including yellow beer, dark beer, wheat beer..."
"Young man, do you still know how to craft beer?" The translator was so overwhelming that Zhao Shilin was very unhappy. Zhong Xinghuo was not good at cursing him directly because the Germans were not good at cursing him, so Zhao Shilin decided to take action himself.
"Oh, I understand a little bit," Qin Dong smiled, "You are responsible for brewing whole-grain beer, Mr. Zhao?"
He also knew that he was the chief engineer, and just showed off here, Zhao Shilin couldn't help but calm down, "Then tell me, what types of beer you know..."
