Chacha is a drink that will not leave anyone indifferent. For some reason, many try it for the first time, being abroad, traveling, although it is quite easy to make at home. It should be noted right away that chacha is a very strong drink, so to speak, for men. The percentage of alcohol sometimes reaches sixty, which significantly exceeds the alcohol content in ordinary vodka. Of the merits, let’s say that chacha is a drink whose price is unlikely to hit your pocket.
Let's turn to the history
Chacha came to us from the Caucasus. In general, in fact, it's just grape vodka. However, alcohol professionals and tasters often attribute it to the brandy class, which significantly increases its elite, and at the same time its popularity. As for Georgia, there is chacha - a drink made from
figs, persimmons, grapes, tangerines, in general, everything that comes to hand. This chacha tastes more like moonshine. Cherry plum and apricots are also used for its preparation. There are a lot of recipes for this drink. We offer to use one of the most adapted for our area and for the Russian people.
Chachi recipe. Essential Ingredients
You will need a lot of water. Based on one hundred grams of yeast, about thirty liters of water is taken. You will also need five kilograms of granulated sugar. The main ingredient is, of course, grape squeeze. It should be at least ten liters.
Cooking method
Chacha is a rather capricious drink and, to make it right, one must strictly follow the directions of the recipe. However, even the most experienced winemaker
We rarely achieve the perfect result. For example, it is almost impossible to calculate which fortress a chacha will turn out to be. Perhaps very weak, and perhaps exceed sixty degrees. The basic rule is that you should never dilute a finished drink with water! This will completely ruin the taste.
Getting started
Ideally, if after making homemade wine you still have grape meal. So, first put the cake or squeeze the grapes into a bulk barrel or a large bottle where you are going to make chacha. Gently pour sugar in small portions, and then yeast. Pour it all with water (it should be cold and boiled). Close the barrel tightly (or bottle) and place the container in a dark place. Someone says that after a week you can open the barrel, while others insist that it is better to wait two weeks. In any case, do not forget to occasionally stir the contents of the barrel!
Some subtleties
To obtain a greater fortress, some use a moonshine still. In this case, it is necessary to put a little straw down, so you will avoid the burning of cake. In the prepared device, pour the liquid together with the cake, and then overtake. It is worth noting that the chacha prepared in such a way
Azom, has a rather specific smell. Most people do not recognize such a chacha.
Conclusion
