How to brew rural sweet wine? Why are there fewer people making liqueur now?

Sweet wine is delicious, but it is also complicated to make. As long as a process is not done well, the taste of liqueur will be affected. In many parts of China, there is a custom of brewing sweet wine. Hunan, the hometown of farmers, is also famous for brewing sweet wine. Some are rice, some are barley, sorghum, millet and so on. In farmers' hometown, sweet wine is usually made of glutinous rice. Sweet wine made from different raw materials has different tastes. Generally speaking, the sweet wine brewed during the festival is mostly made of rice or glutinous rice. Here, the farmer introduced some steps of brewing glutinous rice wine in his hometown.

First, soak the prepared glutinous rice in well water one day and one night in advance to soften the glutinous rice, then pour out the water, drain the water in the rice, and then cook it on a wooden stove. When this is steamed, there is a special one. Generally, rice will brighten when cooked, and it should not be cooked too badly. After cooking, pour the glutinous rice into a clean basket and soak it in cold water to cool it completely. Of course, some people let it cool slowly, but the lines hardened. Then put a proper amount of distiller's yeast (generally 30 kilograms of rice and about 20 grams of distiller's yeast) on the cold glutinous rice. Remember that this process must be fully stirred by hand, then sprinkled with a small amount of warm water and then stirred. After mixing, put the glutinous rice into a jar, usually a big jar, and insert it. Remember to keep warm in winter. Before going to the countryside, wrap it in a straw jar and let the glutinous rice retort ferment under the action of sweet wine koji. If it is too cold, they must move to the kitchen next to the stove. In two or three days, the room will smell of wine. If in winter, the temperature is low and the fermentation time is long, some of them need five to six days to mature. It used to be that Zan had wine, which meant maturity.
