The raw materials of Jimo Old Wine are millet, Wheat koji and water. In the brewing process, the "Six Ancient Methods" have been inherited and carried forward, that is, "the millet must be neat, the tillers must be in season, the water spring must be fragrant, the pottery must be good, the fire must be clean, and the fire agent must be obtained." The so-called millet must be uniform, that is, the grains of millet used for production must be full and uniform, without impurities; the tillers must be in the right time, that is, a clean, ventilated, light-transmitting, and constant-temperature indoor koji-making must be selected during the middle of the year to produce rich rice. The best quality saccharification and fermentation enzymes should be used after aging for one year; the water spring must be fragrant, that is, Laoshan water of good quality and containing a variety of minerals is used; the pottery must be good, that is, the container for brewing wine must be of good texture; the fire must be clean , that is, the tools used for making wine must be heated, scalded, and strictly sterilized; the fire agent must be obtained, that is, the heat of steaming the rice must be charred but not mushy, red and brown, and shiny, just right.
