METHOD FOR PRODUCING VODKA "SIMBIRSKAYA OSOBAYA" Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: liqueur and vodka industry. SUBSTANCE: method involves preparing a mixture (an aqueous-spirituous solution) by mixing rectified ethyl alcohol and drinking purified water to obtain vodka with the strength 40%. Prepared mixture is stirred thoroughly and after correction of its strength is pumped over into supply tank followed by sending on carbon-purifying battery. The filtration rate of mixture is up to 40 dal/h for fresh activated carbon and up to 30 dal/h for regenerated carbon. Filtered off vodka is fed into finishing tank. Glucose is dissolved preliminary in softened water in the ratio 1: 1 and rectified alcohol is added to the solution in the amount providing to solution the vodka strength value. Solution is kept for 0.5-2.0 h, filtered and added into finishing tank with simultaneous feeding vodka into tank at constant stirring. Content of finishing tank is stirred thoroughly and strength is checked. In deviation of strength value from standard vodka is corrected by addition of alcohol or water with the following stirring and checking the strength. Components of vodka are used in the following ratio, kg per 1 000 dal of ready product: glucose, 0.5-3.5; rectified ethyl alcohol "Luks" and drinking purified water, the balance, to obtain the strength 40%. Proposed method provides preparing vodka eliciting low toxic effect on human body, for reduced process time. Addition of rectified alcohol to glucose solution in the amount providing the vodka strength value, holding and filtration of solution in its addition to vodka allows preparing vodka with the enhanced quality and to exclude procedure for vodka correction that accelerates and simplifies process. Vodka acquires more soft taste and barely cream tint after tasting. EFFECT: improved producing method, reduced cost, expanded assortment, improved and enhanced quality of vodka.
