Isithombe: I-Belgian Abbey Ale Fermentation

Isithombe sibonisa indawo yokwenza i-rustic homebrewing emaphakathi nendawo evubela ingilazi, ikakhulukazi i-carboy enkulu, egcwele i-Belgian Abbey Ale ecebile, enombala we-amber. I-fermenter ihlala ngokugqamile ngaphambili, idonsa iso lesibukeli ngomzimba wayo oyingilazi oyindilinga, ocwebezelayo kanye nentamo ewumngcingo evalwe ngokuqinile ngesivalo senjoloba. Ukukhuphuka esitobhini i-airlock yepulasitiki ecacile, egcwele ingxenye yoketshezi, eklanyelwe ukuvumela isikhutha ukubaleka kuyilapho kugcinwa umoya-mpilo nokungcola kungaphandle. Le mininingwane ixhumana ngobuqili nesibukeli esinolwazi ukuthi ukuvutshelwa okusebenzayo okwenzekayo ngaphakathi komkhumbi.

Uketshezi olungaphakathi kwe-fermenter lukhanya ngokufudumele ngaphansi kokukhanya kwemvelo, lubonisa imibala yethusi, i-chestnut, nenhlaka emnyama, okuyisici se-Belgian Abbey-style ales. I-krausen ewugqinsi, enamagwebu—ungqimba oluyigwebu olumhlophe-omhlophe kuya kokuphaphathekile oluyigwebu—luhlala phezu kukabhiya, lubonisa ukuvubela okunamandla futhi lwengeza umuzwa wokunyakaza nokuphila esithombeni esimile. Ukujiya kanye namamaki efilimu amancane engilazini engaphakathi agcizelela nakakhulu ubuqiniso benqubo yokuphisa, njengokungathi umkhumbi usunezinsuku ezimbalwa usetshenziswa. Ingaphandle le-fermenter, amagama athi "BELGIAN ABBEY ALE" abhalwe ngokucacile ngombhalo ogqamile, osagolide, ngaphansi komfanekiso owenziwe ngesitayela we-abbey yendabuko enombhoshongo omaphakathi namakhothamo esitayela se-gothic. Isithombe siqinisa amagugu namasiko ezindela ahlotshaniswa nalesi sitayela sotshwala esiyisakhiwo sodumo.

Njengoba izungeza isivundisi, indawo ezungezile ihlanzekile ngamabomu futhi ivusa inkanuko yendawo yokusebenza yomenzi wasekhaya esikhundleni sophiso lwezimboni. Kwesokunxele kuhlezi ibhodwe lensimbi eliguge kahle elinesibambo esigobile, esibekwe phezu kwesihlalo sokhuni esimaholoholo. Ubuso bayo buba nemihuzuko efiphele kanye nokushintsha umbala kusukela eminyakeni yokusetshenziswa ngokuphindaphindiwe, okufakazela izikhathi eziningi zokuphiswa utshwala. Ngemuva kwe-fermenter futhi kancane kwesokudla, ubude obugoqiwe beshubhu lokuphuza utshwala bulele eceleni kombhobho omncane wokhuni. Ishubhu, eli-beige ngombala, lizingenela ngokwalo ngamajika emvelo, liphakamisa ukuthi lisebenza kanjani ekuphonseni noma ekudluliseni uketshezi phakathi kwemikhumbi phakathi nezigaba ezihlukahlukene zokuphisa. Umphongolo ngokwawo unamandla, izinti zawo zihlanganiswe namabhande ensimbi amnyama, okudala isithombe sezindlela zokulondoloza ezivamile kanye nobuciko bezwe lakudala.

Ingemuva lesigameko liqukethe amapulangwe okhuni, amaholoholo futhi aba mnyama ngenxa yobudala, akha udonga oluqondile olunikeza konke okubunjiwe umuzwa wemfudumalo nokuvaleleka. Ukusebenzisana kwethunzi nokugqamisa okhunini kudala ukujula kuyilapho kugcizelela ukuthungwa kwemvelo. Ekhoneni elingezansi kwesokudla, isaka le-burlap eligoqiwe lihlala ngokukhululekile phansi, liqinisa isimo sobuciko, esakhiwe ngezandla. Ithoni yenhlabathi ye-burlap ivumelana nokhuni, ingilazi, ne-amber ale ngokwayo, ihlanganisa konke ukwakheka kuphalethi labansundu abafudumele, igolide, nama-beige.

Ukukhanya esithombeni kubalulekile kwikhwalithi yaso evusa amadlingozi. Umthombo wokukhanya othambile, ohlukanisiwe, ngokunokwenzeka ovela efasiteleni eliseduze noma isibani, ukhanyisa into evubelayo nezinto ezizungezile. Lokhu kukhanya kugqamisa ukukhazimula kwegolide kwe-ale ngenkathi kusakaza ukubonakaliswa okucashile engilazini. Okuvelele kucwebezela endaweni eyindilinga ye-carboy, ikakhulukazi eduze kwentamo, kuyilapho ithunzi elithambile liwela ngemuva, okwengeza umuzwa wokusondelana nokujula. Ukukhanya okufudumele kuthuthukisa uhlamvu lwendawo yesehlakalo, njengokungathi umbukeli ungene endaweni ethokomele, eyisidala sokuphuza utshwala ebekwe endaweni engaphansi kwendlu yasepulazini noma esakhiweni esingaphandle sezindela.

Yonke into esesithombeni inomthelela esimweni samasiko, isineke, nokuzinikela emsebenzini wezandla. Imvubelo emaphakathi ifanekisela inhliziyo yokuphisa, lapho imvubelo iguqula izithako ezithobekile zibe okuthile okukhulu. Izinsiza ezisekelayo—ibhodwe, ishubhu, umgqomo, kanye ne-burlap—zixoxa indaba yezindlela zokuphisa ngokuzenzela, okunanela amakhulu eminyaka efa lezindela kanye nezingcweti. Sekukonke, isithombe asigcini nje ngokubhala isikhashana enqubweni yokuvutshelwa kodwa futhi sidlulisa isiko elingapheli lokudala i-Belgian Abbey Ale, ubhiya ohlonishwayo ngokujula, ukuba yinkimbinkimbi, kanye nokubaluleka kwamasiko.
