Alex Mendoza: 我从小在索诺玛县的农场长大,对发酵饮品有着天然的亲近感。最初尝试酿造蜂蜜酒只是出于兴趣,但随着对酿造工艺的深入了解,我发现蜂蜜酒有着无限的可能性。我开始尝试不同的配料、水果和蜂蜜种类,探索各种风味组合。最终,我与合伙人Sean一起创立了Hiveworks蜂蜜酒厂,致力于酿造现代化的低酒精度蜂蜜酒。我们的蜂蜜酒采用独特的酿造工艺,例如使用轻盈的花香蜂蜜、去除所有残糖、以及超滤澄清等,以确保蜂蜜酒口感清爽、风味独特。我们目前推出了三款蜂蜜酒:Skyborn(经典款)、Crimson Queen(蓝莓味)和Emerald Swarm(啤酒花味),每款都力求展现蜂蜜酒的独特魅力。 在酿造过程中,我们特别注重水质的控制,因为水质直接影响蜂蜜酒的最终风味。我们对水质的pH值、硬度、矿物质含量等指标进行严格控制,以确保蜂蜜酒的口感和风味的一致性。此外,我们还注重酵母营养物质的添加,以保证酵母的健康生长,避免产生不良风味。 我希望更多的人能够尝试酿造蜂蜜酒,体验蜂蜜酒的乐趣。 Brad Smith: 本期节目邀请到Hiveworks蜂蜜酒厂的联合创始人兼CEO Alex Mendoza,与我们分享了他对蜂蜜酒酿造的经验和心得。Alex详细介绍了Hiveworks蜂蜜酒的酿造工艺,以及他们如何将现代酿造技术与传统蜂蜜酒酿造方法相结合,创造出具有独特风味和口感的蜂蜜酒产品。Alex还分享了蜂蜜酒的历史文化背景,以及蜂蜜酒在现代市场上的发展趋势。他认为,蜂蜜酒作为一种古老的酒精饮料,具有巨大的发展潜力,其可控性和多样性使其能够满足不同消费者的需求。
