A framed hide vat is cattle hide fixed around a timber frame and sagging into a basin. In a tinacal it holds aguamiel and its ferment as they become pulque; it is distinct from the room, the acocote and a carrying skin.
The acocote is a long, hollowed and dried gourd used to draw aguamiel from a mature maguey. It is a harvesting tool: the sap is transferred to a separate vessel before it ferments into pulque.
