This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.% f6 b6 O( z% U2 u) d7 z' x
1. wash everything with broiling water, soak glutine rice overnight , using a bowl, cook inside microwave cooker ,( my rice cooker not easy to clean to oil-free stage), rice was properly cooked ( similar to sticky rice in dimsum restaurant ), left at table to cool down to same temp as back of hand, stir occaionly, sprinkle and mix 1 flat teaspoon of wine yearst ( white color, look like the fruit of lychi ), pour content into a jam jar , half full, put a piece of ceram wrap over jam, screw cap , put jar inside cupboard.8 S/ `4 n c; u! c' ~3 G
2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.% y; T- M, J( Z- u- D
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.' d" I: c6 R+ F: c4 L# a
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color, o# F/ m3 U- | n6 H0 ?4 K
4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)
* M, F+ D; C+ k/ d- a5th day no bubbling,

Conclusion -- when compare with your steps, these are the reasons of failure :-

1. 1/2 jar of air inside jar might has germs that ruined reaction* a$ M3 F3 y; b8 M
2. cleaning not complete.- T1 `# l0 Z) i, `$ R% R. C
3. wine yearst was too old or no good ?3 _! ` ]6 }+ k' ^8 M
