Isithombe: I-Rustic Saison Fermentation

Lesi sithombe sithwebula indawo yokukhiqiza i-rustic homebrewing lapho umkhumbi wengilazi wokuvutshelwa, owaziwa ngokuthi i-carboy, uhlezi ngokugqamile ebhentshini lomsebenzi wokhuni elihambisana nesimo sezulu. Le carboy iqukethe iqoqo elibilayo likabhiya wesitayela se-Saison, i-farmhouse ale ngokujwayelekile ephiswa ngezinhlobo zeyeast eyaziwayo ngezinhlamvu zayo ezinezithelo nezinongo. Umkhumbi ucishe ugcwale uketshezi olusagolide olunenhlaka olulufifi, olumbozwe i-krausen ewugqinsi futhi ephilayo—ikhanda elinegwebu elikhiqizwa umsebenzi we-yeast phakathi nenqubo yokubila. Ikhuphukela ngenhla nje komugqa owuketshezi, lesi sendlalelo esinamagwebu siphakamisa ukuthi ukuvutshelwa kunamandla futhi kuyaqhubeka, namabhamuza amancane aphushela phezulu ukuze enze ukuthungwa okuhlala kushintsha okufakazela ukuphila, imvelo eguquguqukayo kabhiya ngaphakathi.

Okuvalwe entanyeni yesitsha sengilazi isivalo senjoloba esifakwe i-airlock yepulasitiki. I-airlock, egcwele uketshezi kancane, inikeza indlela eyodwa yokuphuma ye-carbon dioxide ekhiqizwa imvubelo, iqinisekisa ukuthi umoya-mpilo kanye nokungcola akukwazi ukungena. Amakamelo ayo amancane, acacile ame aqondile futhi acwebezela kancane ngaphansi kokukhanya okuzungezile okufudumele, umaka oyisithombe wokuvutshelwa okuqhubekayo. Ukukhishwa okungaguquki kwamabhamuza ngale airlock kudala isigqi esithulile—ingxenye engabonakali kodwa ebalulekile yenqubo yokuphisa.

Indawo ye-carboy ifaka ilebula eyodwa, ehlanzekile enamathela phakathi nendawo yayo. Ilebula icacile futhi ilula, nombhalo omnyama ogqamile ofundeka ngokuthi “SAISON.” Le mininingwane ikhomba ngokushesha isitayela sikabhiya ngenkathi inikela ekuhlanzekeni, kobuhle obusebenzisekayo. Ngokungafani nokusethwa kotshwala okuyimfuhlumfuhlu okufaka imibhalo eminingi ebhalayo, amanothi, noma izingcezu ze-masking tape, lesi sigcawu siveza ukucaca nenjongo: lena i-Saison, futhi ubunikazi bayo budalulwa ngokuzethemba.

Isimo siqinisa isimo sobuciko kanye ne-rustic. Ngemuva kwe-carboy, udonga lwezitini olunokwakheka okungalungile ludala ingemuva lamathoni anomhlaba, ansundu ngokubomvu. Amathuluzi amaningana okuphuza alenga ezingwegweni: iqoqo lamasongo ensimbi engagqwali kanye nesipuni sokhuni esisetshenziswe kahle. Ukubekwa kwazo kusikisela ukusebenza, okulungele ukwehliswa lapho kudingeka kodwa futhi kushiywe endaweni njengengxenye yendawo okuhlala kuyo indawo yokuphisa utshwala. Ngakwesokudla sesithombe, igedlela lensimbi engenasici lihlala ngokwengxenye ethunzini endaweni efanayo yokhuni. Ukuma kwayo okuwusizo kanye nokucwebezela okucashile kubonisa indima yayo ezigabeni zangaphambili zenqubo, lapho i-wort yayiyobiliswa ngama-hops ngaphambi kokuba ipholiswe futhi idluliselwe ku-carboy ukuze ivubele.

Ibhentshi lamapulangwe elingaphansi komkhumbi lixoxa indaba yalo, ubuso balo buphawuleka ngokujulile ngemihuzuko, amabala, nokungalingani okucashile okuhambisana nokusetshenziswa iminyaka eminingi. Ukwakheka kwayo okuhambisana nesimo sezulu kuphambene nokucwebezela obala kwengilazi nokunyakaza okujabulisayo ngaphakathi kwayo, okugcizelela ukuvumelana phakathi kwesiko, ubuciko, nendawo eluhlaza lapho kuphuzwa khona utshwala.

Ukukhanyisa kudlala indima ebalulekile esimweni sesigameko. Ukukhanya okuthambile, okufudumele kuwela ngokuphambeneyo ku-carboy, kugqamisa umbala ocwebezelayo we-amber kabhiya kanye nekhanda elinamagwebu phezulu. Izithunzi zishona emaphethelweni ohlaka, zidonsela iso ngaphakathi emkhunjini okhanyayo. Lokhu kudala ukwakheka okuzwakala kusondelene futhi kunenhlonipho, ukugubha isenzo sokuvutshelwa hhayi nje njengesinyathelo sokukhiqiza ubhiya, kodwa njengomkhuba ocishe ungcwele wenguquko, lapho okusanhlamvu, imvubelo, amanzi, nesikhathi kuhlangana khona kube into enkulu.

Ukwakheka okuphelele kwesithombe kulinganisa ukusebenza nomkhathi. Kokubili kuyidokhumentari kanye nobuciko, okubonisa iqiniso langempela likabhiya obilayo kuyilapho kuvusa uthando lokuphisa ekhaya—umsebenzi ngaleso sikhathi owubuchwepheshe nobuciko, ovamile kodwa owumlingo. Umbukeli uyamenywa ukuba angacabangi nje ngesigcawu njengoba sivela kodwa nemisindo yezingidi zomoya, iphunga le-yeast ne-malt, kanye nokulindela kokunambitha umkhiqizo wokugcina emasontweni ambalwa kamuva. Isithombe sikhuluma ngesineke, ubuciko, kanye nenjabulo ethintekayo yokusebenza nokuvutshelwa okuphilayo endaweni lapho ukungapheleli nobuqiniso kungamukelwa nje kuphela kodwa kugujwa khona.
