Description

 The invention relates to the alcoholic beverage industry and can be used in the production of vodka "OUR VICTORY".

 A known method for the production of vodka, providing for the preparation of sorting (water-alcohol liquid) based on rectified alcohol of the highest purity and water, consisting of a mixture of drinking and mineral water, cleaning the sorting on a coal-cleaning battery, introducing honey, final filtering and bottling / RF, patent 2132380, cl. C 12 G 3/08, 1999 /.

 The disadvantage of this method is the insufficiently high organoleptic characteristics of the resulting vodka.

 The introduction of special aromatic hop alcohol to vodka is widely known. So, in patent 2138544, cl. C 12 G 3/06, 1999, the aromatic hop alcohol is introduced in conjunction with the aromatic alcohol of the horseradish root, and in patent 2132381, cl. C 12 G 3/06, 1999 - in combination with deep purification of vodka with powdered activated carbon. However, special vodkas differ in their organoleptic and physico-chemical characteristics from conventional traditional vodkas.

 Closest to the proposed method is the production of vodka, involving the preparation of sorting (water-alcohol liquid) from rectified ethyl alcohol of higher purification and corrected drinking water, cleaning the sorting through a coal-cleaning battery, preparing honey by diluting it with corrected water in a ratio of 1: 5, stirring, heating to a boil, filtering, cooling and introducing the prepared solution together with vanilla into the finishing vat, stirring, filtering and filling (RF patent 2134721, class C 12 G 3/06, 1999).

 However, vodka obtained in a known manner has insufficiently high organoleptic characteristics and biological value.

 The technical result of the present invention is to improve the organoleptic qualities and nutritional and biological value of vodka and expanding the range of vodkas.

 This technical result is achieved in a method for the production of vodka, which provides for the preparation of a sort (water-alcohol liquid) from rectified ethyl alcohol of higher purification and corrected drinking water, purification of the sort through a coal-cleaning battery, preparation of honey by diluting it with corrected water in a ratio of 1: 5, mixing, heating to a boil, filtering, cooling, followed by introducing into the liqueur vat, mixing vodka, filtering and bottling, so that ar Hop alcohol on honey obtained by distillation of infusion of 1 drain, prepared by mixing hops and honey in corrected water, heating the mixture to a boiling point, infusion, adding rectified ethyl alcohol to the infusion, re-infusion in a water-alcohol liquid, draining the infusion and filtering it , while the amount of honey and aromatic hops added to honey in the vat is 2.5-3.5 kg and 0.9-1.5 l per 1000 dal of vodka, respectively.

 It is advisable to mix rectified ethyl alcohol and corrected drinking water in a mixer with a turbulent countercurrent flow of alcohol and water flows until they are completely dissolved.

 For the production of vodka, rectified ethyl alcohol "Extra" can be used as rectified ethyl alcohol.

 Vodka "OUR VICTORY" is obtained as follows. A water-alcohol solution (sorting) is prepared in such a way as to obtain finished vodka with a strength of 40%.

 The mixing of alcohol and water is carried out in a mixer, followed by additional mixing in a centrifugal pump.

 The flows of water and alcohol in the required volumetric ratio are supplied simultaneously to the mixer. There, as a result of the oncoming movement of the jets, high turbulence is created, which provides favorable hydrodynamic conditions for the mixing and dissolution of alcohol in water.

 The resulting sorting is sent to a coal-cleaning battery consisting of three series-connected adsorber columns for treating with active carbon in a pseudo-boiling layer.

 From the last adsorber column, a water-alcohol solution is pumped into a hydrocyclone, where large coal particles are separated.

 Next, vodka goes to filtration plants, consisting of frame flannel filters (pre-filters) and final (fine) filters.

Get a hop infusion on honey. To do this, take 0.8 kg of honey (based on 1000 dal of vodka), 10 g of hops and 0.81 dm ^{3 of} corrected water, placed in an enameled or glass (heat-resistant) container and heated for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath. The resulting aqueous hop infusion on honey is kept at room temperature in a place protected from daylight for 5 days.

 After the specified time, rectified ethyl alcohol "Extra" is added to the water infusion to obtain an infusion strength of 50%, and again kept at room temperature for 12 hours. After which the infusion is filtered through a nylon filter.

 The obtained infusion of hops on honey is used to obtain aromatic hop alcohol on honey.

 In the process of obtaining aromatic alcohol of hops on honey, the middle fraction is selected, comprising 50% of the volume of aqueous-alcoholic liquid contaminated in a distillation cube.

 The head and tail fractions, respectively, 20 and 30% are collected separately in the form of alcohol-containing wastes of distillery production.

 The introduction of honey into the vodka blend is carried out in the following order: the calculated amount of honey is dissolved in corrected water in a ratio of 1: 5, heated to a boil, filtered, cooled.

 Aromatic alcohol of hops on honey in the amount of 0.9-1.5 liters, a solution of honey in the amount of 2.5-3.5 kg per 1000 gave set in vodka, which is in the vat.

 The contents of the vat are thoroughly mixed after the ingredients are added, if necessary, adjusted and sent to the bottling with mandatory control filtration.

 Example 1. A water-alcohol solution (sorting) is prepared in such a way as to obtain finished vodka with a strength of 40% from rectified ethyl alcohol "Extra" and corrected drinking water.

 The mixing of alcohol and water is carried out in a mixer, followed by additional mixing in a centrifugal pump.

 The flows of alcohol and water in a volume ratio of 1.0 to 1.38-1.44 are simultaneously supplied to the mixer. There, as a result of the oncoming movement of the jets, high turbulence is created, which provides favorable hydrodynamic conditions for the mixing and dissolution of alcohol in water.

 The resulting water-alcohol solution leaves the mixer with a deliberately increased alcohol content of 0.5-1.5%. The water-alcohol solution is brought to the standard strength by introducing an additional stream of water into the pipeline connecting the mixer to the centrifugal pump.

 The resulting sorting is sent to a coal-cleaning battery consisting of three series-connected adsorber columns for treating with active carbon in a pseudo-boiling layer.

The intensity of the sorting stream (when loading activated carbon into an adsorber column in an amount of 110 kg should be 4.0-4.5 l / (m ² • s).

 From the last adsorber column, a water-alcohol solution is pumped into a hydrocyclone, where large coal particles are separated. Next, the vodka goes to filtration plants, consisting of different flannel filters (pre-filters) and final (fine) filters with a hydraulically compressed filter layer of silica sand with a grain size of 350 microns.

 The technological parameters of obtaining the infusion of hops on honey, and from it the aromatic alcohol of hops on honey are given in table. 1 and 2.

 Before introducing 3 kg of honey into the flushing pot, dissolve it in corrected water in a ratio of 1: 5, heat it to a boil, filter it and cool it.

 Aromatic alcohol of hop on honey in the amount of 1 liter, the prepared solution of honey in the amount of 3 kg is set in vodka, which is in the liqueur vat.

 The contents of the tub are thoroughly mixed after the ingredients are added and sent to the bottling with the obligatory control filtration.

 Example 2. The production of “Our Victory” vodka is carried out as in Example 1, only 0.9 l of aromatic hop alcohol for honey and a solution of honey made from 2.5 kg of honey are added to the vat.

 Example 3. The production of vodka "OUR VICTORY" is carried out as in example 1, only 1.5 l of aromatic alcohol of hops on honey and a solution of honey made from 3.5 kg of honey are added to the vat.

 The proposed method allows to obtain vodka with higher organoleptic characteristics due to the use of honey and hop aromatic alcohol on honey, providing a soft taste of vodka and the formation of esters, giving vodka a rich aroma.

 Vodka "OUR VICTORY" is enriched with biologically active substances of hops and honey.
