Introduction to Qianjie-whisky barrel treatment

The traditional coffee treatment is divided into water washing, sun exposure and honey treatment. the differences of these three treatments are mentioned in the previous strategy, which can be simplified to pectin, peel, and the uniformity of fermentation, while the oak barrel can be said to be the deformation of washing.

So in the washing stage to remove all pectin and peel, and then exposure to drying, there is no pectin, pericarp, belongs to the fruit sweet taste will be less, dry fermentation environment is also relatively uniform, so it will usually drink relatively clean!

In the Massaguara region of Hongguo, traditional washing is used at this stage, soaking in water for more than ten hours to remove the pectin layer, then slightly drying and then letting it dry naturally under the canopy. Ordinary washing has come to this stage.

But what we want to talk about this time is that the oak barrel is deformed by washing, so the most important thing after drying is to put it in the oak barrel. Coffee farmers will first choose the size of the coffee beans, leaving only about seven millimeters of beans, put them in the oak barrels of rum and soak in them for about three months. Although the wine barrel is used for fermentation, the coffee beans in this treatment do not contain alcohol, so there is no need to be afraid of drunk driving.

Take out a batch about every 30 days to test the flavor to see if it meets the expected standard.

Flavor characteristics: coffee beans fermented in barrels usually have strong and persistent aromas, with a good structure, clean structure and high sweetness.

Knowledge: good quality coffee fruit generally has a good shading effect, shade can block the hot sun at noon, reduce the metabolic rate of coffee, and contribute to the development of nutrients, fruit acids and aromatic substances.
