Isithombe: Ama-malts athosiwe ku-Copper Kettle

Enhliziyweni yesiko lokuphisa, isithombe sithwebula umzuzwana wenguquko eyisisekelo—lapho ukushisa, okusanhlamvu, nesikhathi kuhlangana khona eketelani le-copper ukuze kuxutshwe ukunambitheka emlilweni. Ukubuka okuseduze kuveza umbhede wezinhlamvu ezimnyama ezithosiwe ze-malt, izindawo zazo ezishelelayo futhi ezicwebezelayo njengoba zibhamuza oketshezini olubilayo. Umusi ukhuphuka ngogqinsi olujiyile, olugoqekayo, lufiphaze emaphethelweni eketela futhi lwengeze umuzwa wokunyakaza nokuphuthuma endaweni yesigameko. Okusanhlamvu, okugazingiwe kuze kube mnyama, kucwebezela ngamafutha nomswakama, ukwakheka kwawo okumangelengele kugqanyiswe ukukhanya okufudumele, okunhlaka okugeza igedlela phezulu. Lokhu kukhanya, okuthambile kodwa okuqondile, kuveza izithunzi ezimangalisayo endaweni enyakazayo, kugcizelela ukunotha okuthintekayo kwe-malt kanye nokuqina kwamathumba.

Igedlela ngokwalo, okungenzeka lenziwe ngethusi noma ngensimbi egqinsiwe, likhazimula nge-patina ekhuluma iminyaka yokusetshenziswa namaqebelengwane angenakubalwa enziwa. Irimu layo eligobile kanye nendawo eshile ibonisa ukukhanya okucwayizayo, okudala isigqi esibonakalayo esibukisa uketshezi olubhibhayo ngaphakathi. Ukujula kwenkundla okungajulile kudonsela iso lesibukeli phakathi nendawo yesenzo—izinhlamvu ngokwazo—ngenkathi kuvumela ingemuva ukuthi lincibilike libe umusi wesitimu nokufudumala. Lokhu kukhetha okubhaliwe kuthuthukisa umuzwa wokusondelana nokugxila, kumema umbukeli ukuthi abambezeleke emibhalweni, imibala, nokunyakaza okucashile okuchaza lesi sigaba senqubo yokuphisa.

Iphunga, nakuba lingabonakali, licishe lizwakale. Ibukhali futhi ibukhali, inamanothi ethosti eshisiwe, ukhuni olushile, nokubaba okungapheli okukhomba ubunkimbinkimbi obuzayo. Lezi zinhlayiya ezigazingiwe azimnene—zinesibindi, ziyagomela, futhi ziyakwazi ukunikeza ukunambitheka okujulile, okunezingqimba kuphuzo lokugcina. Ukuba khona kwazo eketela kusikisela isitayela sikabhiya esincike ebumnyameni: mhlawumbe i-stout, i-porter, noma i-black lager, lapho ukuhlangana kokuthosa, ubumnandi, nokubaba kudala iphrofayili eyinselele futhi enomvuzo. Inqubo yokubilisa kulesi sigaba ibalulekile—hhayi nje ekukhipheni ushukela, kodwa nasekuxosheni izivunguvungu ezingafuneki futhi kuzinzise igalelo lemalt emzimbeni nasephunga elimnandi.

Isimo sesithombe singesokuqina nokugxilisa ingqondo. Kuzwakala njengesifinyezo esithathwe phakathi nenqubo ende, ecatshangwayo, lapho umdidiyeli wotshwala engasekho nje ohlakeni, ebuka, elungisa, futhi elindile. Kunomqondo wokuhlonipha lapha, sengathi igedlela liyi-altare kanti izinhlamvu ziyisidlo esingcwele. Isitimu, ukukhanya, ukucwayiza—konke kunezela emzweni wenguquko, wezithako ezingavuthiwe ezilolongwa zibe okuthile okukhulu. Isikhathi esihlonipha kokubili isayensi nomoya wokwenza utshwala, lapho yonke imininingwane ibalulekile futhi zonke izinqumo zishiya uphawu lwazo emkhiqizweni wokugcina.

Lesi sithombe asibonisi nje igedlela le-malt ebilayo—sixoxa indaba yobuciko, ukubekezela, nedrama ethule eyenzeka kufunwa ukunambitheka. Ithwebula ingqikithi yokuphisa ngezici zayo ezinkulu, lapho ukushisa kwethumba kanye nohlamvu lokusanhlamvu kuhlangana khona ukudala isisekelo sento ecebile, eyinkimbinkimbi, futhi eyanelisa ngokujulile. Kulo mzuzu, uzungezwe umusi nesithunzi, umoya kabhiya uyazalwa—hhayi ngokuxhamazela, kodwa ngokuvumelana, nebhamuza ngalinye lisondela epayintini eliphelele.
