Making Glutinous Rice Wine at Home - Day 30, Harvest time!

Here are the basic utensils you'd need: a big/deep pot, a sieve, a big pale, and 1 or 2 dispensers. 
- The pot is to both collect the wine and also to boil it. (more later)
- The sieve is, naturally, to filter off the lees from the wine. I prefer this metal bowl type over any kind of cloth/plastic types.
- The pale is to collect running water to cool down the wine after pastuering/heating it.
- And last but not least, the dispensers. You could leave the wine in the same deep pot and scoop out the wine later, but I find dispensers are much easier. (more later).
