The height of vodka is not due to its brewing raw materials, but to its multiple distillation processes.
Hogwarts lacks a lot in the field of industrial distillation, but it is not bad at all in the field of alchemy, and the multiple distillation process of "water of life" is precisely derived from alchemy. Compared with other industrial processed products
, there are not many technical barriers to brewing wine in the magic world.
Of course, according to Elena's description, it should now be called making "casting materials".
High-purity "water of life" can strengthen fire magic, as well as enhance some freezing and water-based magic.
On the other hand, the fact that the 96-degree "water of life" cannot be drunk directly also made Dumbledore somewhat relieved.
Even the extremely stubborn Gryffindor House would not try the extremely spicy and unpleasant "alcohol". Just as Elena just described in the vision plan, do a good job in checking the basic casting materials.
Restriction of processes, as for the problem of underage drinking, can be restricted through irregular sampling, raising the threshold of casting materials, increasing the added value of finished products... these methods.
"So, let's make this agreement for the time being?"
Elena stood up, clapped her hands happily, and the little fur on her head swayed from side to side.
"Regarding the vodka brewing process and the subsequent material casting teaching, it is up to you to follow up and communicate... If you encounter obstacles before the end of the month, then I will try to promote it from the bottom up...
Very reasonable, right? Mr. Principal."
Gryffindor House controls the raw material potatoes. This is an advantage they have established through more than a year of reckless behavior.
However, in the transformation process from potatoes to vodka, the processes of storage, fermentation, and distillation are the most critical steps.
Gryffindor House, located atop the castle tower, has no suitable brewing premises.
There are only five large venues in Hogwarts suitable for brewing vodka:
Two of them are directly controlled by Dumbledore and Elena, the underground treasure house and the Hogwarts kitchen.
There is also a neutral hidden map, "Room of Requirement: Wine Cellar".
In addition, although the "Helga's Dungeon" under the semi-enclosed rest room of Hufflepuff College is still to be developed and can be used, considering the future training project of the Master of Magical Beasts, an additional piece of land must be allocated for storage.
Brewing vodka is obviously a bit difficult.
Therefore, if the young wizards of Gryffindor House want to brew their own vodka, they have only one option.
…………
That evening, Gryffindor House common room.
"Cooperate with Slytherin to jointly develop Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?!"
Fred Weasley said in disbelief, raising his hands and shaking them worriedly.
"Percy, are you kidding me! And we have to give them a quarter of the potatoes we grow?!"
"I'm not kidding, this is what Professor Dumbledore personally informed just now."
Percy frowned, patted away Fred's claw that was about to leave an afterimage in front of his eyes, and said seriously.
"The professor said that the next magic course at Hogwarts will use an alchemical product called 'water of life', and the raw material of this alchemical product happens to be the potatoes we piled up. He also gave another option.
, we trade the potatoes to Slytherin, and Slytherin will be solely responsible for the brewing work. However, in this way, the distribution rights of the excess 'water of life' will also be allocated to Slytherin..."
"Then they just want to eat shit. The potatoes we grow will become theirs if they change hands? Don't even think about it!"
Oliver Wood snorted coldly and interrupted Percy without hesitation.
As the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, if there is anything more uncomfortable than cooperating with Slytherin, then perhaps I will passively become the opponent's stepping stone, and all the hard work will be turned into nothing.
The merits and capital of a despicable fellow.
Judging from Professor Dumbledore's words that Percy just relayed, the importance of "water of life" is at least worth half a college cup.
Under such circumstances, the little wizards of Gryffindor could not let those stinky snakes take advantage of them.
"Is there no other way? Under Hufflepuff House, or elsewhere in the castle?"
Charlie Weasley rubbed his chin, trying to search for a suitable venue in his memory.
Unlike these little guys who were still studying at Hogwarts, he didn't take the House War too seriously after leaving school. Instead, he cared more about the legendary "details" that Percy just mentioned.
"Eau-de-vie" is the most concentrated distilled spirit in the world.
You must know that in the process of raising fire dragons, high-quality and high-quality wine is almost indispensable drinking water.
Compared to expensive and rare single malt whiskey or aged brandy, "water of life" that can be brewed from just potatoes is a great deal.
If you can really brew liquor of that quality from potatoes, it will relieve a lot of pressure on raising fire dragons, and by analogy, it can also solve the ration problems of many large magical animals. In addition to fire dragons, similar to the magic rune horse, the three
These creatures are also addicted to alcohol. If they are not fed with a sufficient amount of strong alcohol, they will show anorexia, depression, and even undergo varying degrees of degeneration or underdevelopment.
"Well, forget it, this way we can occupy Slytherin's secret room and make it Gryffindor's wine cellar."
After Charlie read through the secret passages of Hogwarts Castle in his mind, he shook his head helplessly, his eyes gradually becoming firm.
"I remember Professor Dumbledore said before that the completion of the exploration of 'Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets' and the degree of decoration are completely determined by the students. In other words, this is a different kind of competition. Take advantage of this.
Before the students from other colleges have reacted, we will first join forces with some Slytherin guys to carve up most of the area inside. As for how to divide the accounts later..."
"Gryffindor controls almost 80% of the potato growing land in Hogwarts. This is something that no other house can change."
"Professor Dumbledore also said that the follow-up plan of 'Water of Life' will be added to some magic courses at Hogwarts as a common alchemy material. I don't think the professors will update some useless new knowledge.
This kind of thing must be very, very important.”
"As for the distribution method between Slytherin and Gryffindor..."
Charlie Weasley's eyes flashed with bright fire and he rubbed his wrist casually.
"If we sit around the table and negotiate, we will probably suffer a big loss. Since we are all wizards, let's use the wizard's solution. I heard that you had an unfinished duel last year. Percy, you go find Slater tomorrow.
Make an appointment with Lin's prefect, and we will find a place to complete the duel together on the weekend, whether it is the gap before or the right to speak after, and the distribution ratio, we will solve it together."
"Well, this is no time for joking, Charlie. This is a little too..."
Percy Weasley smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking helplessly at the second brother who seemed to be infected with the habit of aggressive fire dragons.
"I think it's ok"
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly came from the fireplace.
Bill Weasley slowly smoothed the pages of the book and inserted an aluminum page into the spine as a bookmark.
"I asked Professor Apokalis that if it is a friendly discussion between less than ten people, and it is witnessed by the official professor and the Discipline Inspection Committee, it is not a violation of school rules. Regarding duels and territorial divisions, you can go ahead with it without worries.
