This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar." f" [# V* w; X% r% G; M# ?
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.
3 w7 n2 O* A+ a! p6 u: R5 @! v z2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.
- ^5 g: W7 q5 d9 [+ y0 e3 j* }; c Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.* e; {) n U! F9 q
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color
9 N; [2 {; [, c) S' u4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)
