Wheat braga without yeast

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Wheat will need unprocessed, it is best to buy such, for example, in pet stores. I buy wheat as a feed for chickens - it is great for braga.

2. Step 2:

   

   Do not wash wheat: the surface of the grains contains a lot of bacteria that cause fermentation. It is enough to sort out the grains from the garbage.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the grains in a fermentation container and pour a little water.

4. Step 4:

   

   Leave for a couple of days so that the grains will "hatch" a little, and begin to germinate.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add sugar, pour in the remaining water.

6. Step 6:

   

   Wrap the throat of the container with gauze and put it in a warm place for 2 days. In a couple of days, the starter for making the braga will be ready.

8. Step 7:

   

   Two days later, put a disposable glove on top and put it back in a warm place for fermentation.

9. Step 8:

   

   As soon as the glove is inflated, the fermentation process has begun. It can last from 7 to 14 days.

10. Step 9:

    

    At the end of fermentation, the glove will deflate again. You can also check the readiness of the braga with a burning match: if the match burns and does not go out over the neck of the jar, the braga is ready for distillation.

11. Step 10:

    

    Strain the braga with a sieve or gauze.

12. Step 11:

    

    This is how it looks.

13. Step 12:

    

    Braga is ready. Enjoy your use!
