This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.
2 h& E3 v% ~' M9 u; L1. 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.
/ r2 W d6 c$ ~" D* R3 h Y! i9 y2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.
- x5 b/ V+ G" e: O Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell./ u6 r' Q$ t: h; L" j
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color
