The water temperature of the cooling water is preferably 4 ° C. lower than the optimum temperature of the mussel, though it depends on the amount of the pearls, from experience values of many years. Reference numeral 13 is a stirrer, which is adapted to stir the mash in the fermentation tank 1 and at a predetermined time for a predetermined time (for example, 30

The reason for installing the stirrer 13 is usually
The temperature of the mash in the fermentation tank 1 is low (high temperature) on the outer side and high (low temperature) on the inner side due to the cooling water (warm water) in the jacket 2, and a temperature difference occurs between the inside and the outside, and Since the temperature sensor 2 is in the vicinity of the jacket 3 into which cooling water or hot water enters, if the mash is not stirred, the proper temperature of the mash cannot be measured. Therefore, the mash is stirred to equalize the temperature of the entire mash. The temperature sensor 2 can detect an appropriate melting temperature.
