Processing
Yeast Anaerobic Natural
Variety
Bourbon Sidra
Description Process
It begins with an optimal ripe harvest with brix degrees between 24 and 26. Afterwards, a manual selection of the grain is carried out and oxidation is carried out in plastic tanks for 48 hours. In this process, the leachate that the mass throws is recirculated until the cycle is completed, measuring brix degrees and ph, continuing with a rafting (to separate empty grains and impurities) and with this lowering the temperature of the mass. A thermal shock is carried out at a temperature of 50°C and it is placed in sealed plastic bins to start the anaerobic fermentation. During anaerobic fermentation, yeast of the Saccharomyces Cerevisiae strain type T58 is added, this being used to improve profiles in the brewing industry. The ratio used was 1:5, (1 gram x 5 kilos of cherry) in active dilution at 35°C, the solution is added to the cherry by spraying and left in the conditioning and multiplication stage for 80 hours.
Drying: The cherries are mechanically dried to dehydrate as much water as possible (approximately 12 hours) and then sun-dried (approximately 15 days).
