What You Need to Know
Makgeolli brewing involves a natural fermentation process using nuruk, a traditional Korean fermentation starter, which contains a mixture of grains and microorganisms. The fermentation process typically takes 1-3 days at temperatures between 15°C to 25°C and involves the breakdown of starches into sugars, which are then converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide by the microorganisms in the nuruk.
