Isithombe: Izigaba zenqubo ye-malting yebhali

Lesi sithombe sendlalwe ngokucophelela okucophelela endaweni yokhuni eyenziwe ngokucebile, sibonisa ukulandisa okubonakalayo kwenqubo ye-malting—okuyisisekelo senguquko kubuciko bokwenza utshwala. Ukwakheka kuyafundisa futhi kuyathandeka, kuqondisa umbukeli ezigabeni ezine ezihlukene zokukhula kwezinhlamvu zebhali, umugqa ngamunye umele isigaba esibucayi ohambweni olusuka ku-cereal eluhlaza ukuya kwi-malt enambitheka. Ukuqhubekela phambili ukusuka kwesobunxele kuye kwesokudla akukhona nje ukushintsha kombala nokuthungwa, kodwa indaba yokuguquka kwezinto eziphilayo, ukucolisiswa kwamakhemikhali, namandla okupheka.

Umugqa wokuqala wethula izinhlamvu zebhali ezingavuthiwe esimweni sazo semvelo. Lezi zinhlamvu zibomvu ngokukhanyayo, zibushelelezi, futhi zifana, zinomuthi ocwebezelayo obonisa ubumsulwa bazo obungakathintwa. Ukubukeka kwazo komile futhi kuqinile, okuphakamisa amandla alele alindele ukwenziwa kusebenze. Leli bhali njengoba livela ensimini—liyavunwa, lihlanzwe futhi lilungele ukuguqulwa. Izinhlamvu zipakishwe ngokuqinile, amakhoba awo aqinile, futhi umbala wawo uvusa amathoni asagolide emasimini asekupheleni kwehlobo. Ziyisisekelo senqubo yokupheka, ecebile ngesitashi kodwa esazovulwa ukuze sivutshelwe.

Ukuya emgqeni wesibili, izinhlamvu ziqala ukubonisa izimpawu zokuphila. Lesi yisigaba sokuhluma, lapho ibhali licwiliswe khona futhi livunyelwe ukuba lihlume. Ama-rootlets amancane aphuma esisekelweni sohlamvu ngalunye, athambile futhi amhlophe, agoqeka kancane njengoba efuna umswakama kanye nemisoco. Izinhlamvu ngokwazo zibonakala zivuvukele kancane, umbala wazo ushona ubebeige ofudumele, futhi ukuthungwa kwazo kuthambile. Lesi sigaba sibalulekile ekusebenziseni ama-enzyme azoguqula isitashi sibe ushukela ovutshelwayo. Ukuba khona kwama-rootlets kwengeza ikhwalithi eguquguqukayo, ecishe ibe opopayi esithombeni, ephakamisa ukunyakaza nokukhula. Yisikhathi sokuvuka, lapho okusanhlamvu kuqala khona ukuguquka kusuka embewini kuya kumila.

Umugqa wesithathu ubonisa ibhali elibiliswe ngokugcwele—izinhlamvu esezihlumile futhi zomisiwe ukuze kumiswe ukukhula okwengeziwe. Lezi zinhlamvu ziwumbala osagolide ofanayo, ocwebezela kancane kunangaphambi kwazo, nokucwebezela okucashile okukhomba ukulungela kwazo ukwenziwa utshwala. Ukuthungwa kwawo kuqinile kunezinhlamvu ezimilayo kodwa kunezimbotshana eziningi kunebhali eluhlaza, okubonisa umsebenzi we-enzymatic ngaphakathi. Lesi yisigaba lapho amakhemikhali angaphakathi okusanhlamvu athuthukiswa khona ukuze kuphuzwe, futhi izici ezibonakalayo—umbala, ukukhanya, nokuma—zibonisa lokho kulinganisela. Izinhlamvu ezibolile ziyinhliziyo yezindlela eziningi zokupheka zikabhiya, ezinikeza kokubili ushukela ovutshelwayo kanye ne-flavour complexity.

Ekugcineni, umugqa wesine uveza ibhali egazingiwe, ukushintsha okumangalisayo kwephimbo nokuthungwa. Lezi zinhlamvu zisukela kokunsundu ngokujulile kuye kokucishe kube mnyama, ubuso bazo bucwebezele futhi buqhekeke kancane, buveze ingaphakathi le-caramelized. Inqubo yokosa iye yaqinisa iphunga nephunga lazo, sethula amanothi ekhofi, ushokoledi, nesinkwa esithosiwe. Izinhlamvu zibonakala ziminyene, amakhoba awo aba mnyama futhi amahlonyana, futhi isisindo sawo esibonakalayo sisekela ukwakheka. Lesi sigaba sibalulekile ezitayeleni zikabhiya obumnyama, lapho i-malt egazingiwe inikela ngokujula, umbala, nokunotha.

Indawo yokhuni engaphansi kwezinhlamvu isebenza njengokungaphezu nje kwengemuva-ithuthukisa amathoni emvelo nokuthungwa kwesiteji ngasinye, igxilisa isithombe ngomqondo wobuciko kanye nesiko. Okusanhlamvu kokhuni nemibala efudumele ihambisana nokuqhubeka kwebhali, iqinisa imvelo yenqubo. Ukuhlelwa sekukonke kuhlanzekile futhi kwenziwa ngamabomu, kumema ababukeli ukuthi balandelele ukuvela kokusanhlamvu ngamehlo abo, futhi mhlawumbe ngomcabango wabo, babone ngeso lengqondo umkhiqizo wokugcina: ipinti likabhiya, elicebile ngomlingiswa nomlando.

Lesi sithombe singaphezu kwesibonisi esimile—umkhosi wokuguqulwa, wesayensi ecashile nobuciko obusemuva kokwenza isiphuzo. Ithwebula ingqikithi ye-malting hhayi nje njengenqubo yobuchwepheshe, kodwa njengesiko elisekelwe kwezolimo, amakhemikhali, kanye nobuchule bokupheka. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ibukwa umdidiyeli wotshwala ongumakadebona noma osanda kufika, inikeza ukuqonda, ugqozi, kanye nenhlonipho ethule yokusanhlamvu okuthobekile okuba okuthile okungavamile.
