Isithombe: I-Craft Brewing nge-Cascade Hops

Isithombe sithwebula isikhathi esisondelene, esicishe sibe nenhlonipho empilweni yomuntu ophisa utshwala, indawo lapho isayensi nobuciko kuhlangana khona engilazini eyodwa. Ngaphambili, umenzi wotshwala uphethe ingilazi emise okwe-tulip egcwele ubhiya wezandla onombala we-amber, uketshezi olukhazimula njengethusi elipholishiwe ngaphansi kokukhanya okufudumele kwendlu yokuphuzela utshwala. Ikhanda eliwugqinsi, elinamagwebu lithwesa ubhiya, igwebu lawo liqinile futhi linokhilimu, linamathele emgqeni njengokungathi alifuni ukushabalala. Amabhamuza amancane akhuphuka kancane kancane ekujuleni kwengilazi, ephethe isithembiso sokusebenza kahle, ukusha, kanye nephunga elimnandi le-Cascade hops. Ukubuka kobhiya kujulile futhi kugxilile, ibunzi lakhe ligcwele ukugxilisa ingqondo njengoba engahloli nje kuphela umbala nokucaca kukabhiya kodwa isiphetho senqwaba yezinketho, ukulungiswa, nokucwengisiswa okulethe kuleli qophelo.

Indoda ngokwayo ihlanganisa ukuzinikela emsebenzini wezandla. Ugqoke izingubo zokusebenza ezingokoqobo kanye nekepisi elimnyama, ubuso bakhe bufakwe intshebe egcinwe kahle, unomoya wothile kokubili onendlela yokwenza futhi ohlakaniphile. Inkulumo yakhe ayivezi nje ilukuluku kodwa uhlobo lokuhlolisisa olwenziwayo, ukubukeka kwengcweti ehlola umkhiqizo womsebenzi wakhe ngezilinganiso ezilinganayo zokuzigqaja kanye neqembu eligxekayo. Kulo mzuzu, ingilazi ingaphezu kwesiphuzo; kuwukuhlola, ukubonakaliswa kwefilosofi yokuphisa, nokubonakaliswa okuphathekayo kobudlelwane bomenzi wotshwala nezithako zakhe. Ama-Cascade hop, nenhlanganisela yawo ephawulekayo yokugqama kwewolintshi, ukuphakama kwezimbali, nokujula kukaphayini, adlala indima ebalulekile lapha, futhi ukuhlola kwakhe ngokucophelela kusikisela ukubaluleka kokuthwebula lezo zimfanelo ngokulinganisela okuphelele.

Ngemva kwakhe, kugqama indawo yokuphisa utshwala, iketela layo lethusi licwebezela ngokucwebezelayo. Umkhumbi oyindilinga, ofakwe amageji nama-valve, ubusa ingemuva njengesitho sombhishobhi, ithuluzi lokuguqula izinto ezingavuthiwe—imilalt, amanzi, amahops nemvubelo—kuxhunywa khona ukuze kuzwane. Okuzungezile, amathuluzi afana nelebhu nezinsimbi kuqinisa ubumbaxambili bokuphisa: isayensi eningi njengobuciko. Amabhikha engilazi, amasilinda aneziqu, namageji okucindezela aphakamisa ukunemba, ukulawula, nesimo sengqondo sokuhlaziya, kuyilapho ukukhanya okufudumele kwekhopha nokukhuphuka kwesitimu kukhuluma ngesiko, umlando, kanye nobumnandi benzwa bomsebenzi wezandla. Inhlanganisela idala isimo esizizwa ngaso leso sikhathi singaphelelwa yisikhathi futhi sesimanje, indawo lapho izindlela zamakhulu eminyaka zilolongwa ngokusungula izinto ezintsha zesimanje.

Ukukhanyisa kudlala indima ebalulekile ekulolongeni isimo. Ithambile futhi isagolide, ibonakalisa ngokufudumele isuka ezindaweni zethusi, ijulisa imibala yenhlaka kabhiya, futhi igqamisa izici zomshini wokuphisa utshwala ethunzini elicabangelayo. Inikeza indawo yonke i-aura yokuqina okuzolile, isikhashana esimisiwe phakathi kwenqubo nomphumela. Kulokhu kukhanya, ubhiya ngokwawo ubonakala ucishe ucwebezele, njengokungathi awubambi uketshezi nje kuphela kodwa nengqikithi yamahora amaningi okutshalwa, ukulungiselela, nokuphiswa ngokucophelela.

Okuvezwa isithombe ngamandla kakhulu ukuphishekela ukuphelela. Ukuphuza utshwala akuvamile mayelana nokuphindaphinda okulula; imayelana nokucwenga, ukulungisa, nokufunda kuwo wonke amaqoqo. Inkulumo egxilile yomdidiyeli isikhumbuza ukuthi ubhiya wezandla uwumkhiqizo welukuluku elingapheli kanye nokwenqaba ukuvuma “okwanele.” Iphayinti ngalinye eliphuzwayo liyimpumelelo kanye nesitebhisi esibheke esivivinyweni esilandelayo, ukuthuthukiswa okulandelayo. Amahophu e-Cascade, ayisakhiwo sodumo futhi aguquguqukayo, sekuyisikhathi eside ewumgogodla walolu hambo, ebumba ukunambitheka kobhiya wesimanje waseMelika futhi eqhubeka nokugqugquzela ukuhumusha okusha emashumini eminyaka ngemuva kokwethulwa kwawo.

Kulolu hlaka olulodwa, asiboni nje umuntu nobhiya wakhe, kodwa indaba ebanzi yokuphisa ngokwawo: umshado womhlaba nezimboni, wama-hops ne-malt, wesayensi nobuciko. Ubhiya uyakhazimula ngesithembiso sokwaneliseka, kodwa ukugqolozela komdidiyeli kusikhumbuza ukuthi ngemva kwawo wonke ama-sip kukhona isiko elide lobuciko bezandla ngokucophelela kanye nekusasa lokuhlola okungapheli. Kungumfanekiso wobungcweti, uthando, kanye nesifiso esihlala njalo sokunxenxa ukuphelela kusuka kuzithako ezithobekile, ingilazi eyodwa ngesikhathi.
