Yeast is the aroma fermentation agent for the brewing of yeast liquor. The predecessors concluded many classic sayings through long-term’s brewing practice, such as “yeast determines the liquor type”, “yeast is the bone of liquor,” and “excellent liquor generated from nice yeast.”
The yeast of Luzhou Laojiao originates from GUO Huaiyu, a local Luzhou people in Yuan Dynasty. He invented “Ganchun yeast” in 1324 AD, thus became the great innovator in the history of Luzhou liquor industry and initiated the development of strong aromatic liquor brewing. Due to the position of “creator” and “originator” of the first strong aromatic yeast liquor, GUO Huaiyu is regarded as “father of yeast making”.
The yeast making techniques has been passing down for over 680 years. Nowadays, professional and scale yeast making ecological park with a building group style has been established. The yeast making environment of “yeast fermentation in slightly fermentation condition” has realized yeast making in four seasons and guaranteed the high yeast quality of stable all year round.
In 2003, the “Jiuxiang” brand yeast of Luzhou Laojiao exclusively won the national certification of “original producing area protection”. Mr. ZHOU Henggang, a leading liquor authority engaging in yeast research praised, “Top-grade liquor can’t be brewed without good yeast. Luzhou Laojiao yeast liquor ranks ‘No.1 in the world’ ”.
