The technical parameters of liquor-making from glutinous sorghum and non-glutinous sorghum had been studied.The results indicated that,comparing glutinous sorghum with non-glutinous sorghum,glutinous sorghum has the following characteristics,the amount of absorbing water is lower than that of non-glutinous sorghum,the rate of absorbing water is greater,the coefficiency of expansion is lower,and the gelatinition temperature is lower.So,the production process of liquor-making should be adjusted according to the different types of sorghum varieties.
