The video titled "Jin's Traditional Alcohol Journey" is a tutorial on how to make traditional Korean alcohol, also known as makgeolli. The process involves several steps:
1. **Rinsing the Rice**: The video starts with the process of rinsing the rice, which involves pouring the rice through a sieve and then soaking a cloth in water to remove any remaining water. The cloth is then squeezed to remove any remaining water.
2. **Steaming the Rice**: The rinsed rice is then steamed in a pot. The rice is laid evenly on the steamer, and the pot is covered to evenly distribute the heat. The rice is then left to steam for a certain amount of time.
3. **Cooling the Rice**: After steaming, the rice is cooled down by placing a cloth on top of it and then pouring cold water over it. The rice is then spread out to cool further.
4. **Mashing the Rice**: The cooled rice is then mashed together with yeast and an alcohol base. The mixture is then poured into a large pot and covered.
5. **Fermentation**: The mixture in the pot is left to ferment. The fermentation process involves repeatedly adding hot water to the pot, allowing it to cool, and then removing some of the water. This process is repeated for several days until the alcohol is ready.
6. **Tasting the Alcohol**: Once the alcohol is ready, it is tasted to ensure it has the desired sweet and sour taste. If the alcohol is not ready, it is left to ferment further.
7. **Preparing for the Taste Test**: The video ends with the preparation for a taste test between the alcohol made by Jin and Mr. Baek. They plan to take some of the alcohol to the market and let the merchants taste it. The one who loses the taste test will have to cook.
Throughout the video, Jin and Mr. Baek engage in humor and banter, making the tutorial more enjoyable to watch.
