This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.
1 q: i& d! a$ d+ |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./ z% _& S/ ?8 o' L ^
2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.
( ]2 V, K2 _' ^" @ S$ y; g Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.- K5 d% O2 ]4 Z* S' F$ W
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color
9 ~1 U7 B+ M1 k% p$ c. U X4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)
7 M) Z6 j+ h7 z6 _6 G q% a5th day no bubbling,2 b- }' R" R% s8 H6 h9 j
