This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.
4 x; t: O/ b& G# V% n/ l$ Y6 d1. 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.: ~% w9 k3 r$ D7 _$ }0 Z( V
2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.
' t, U* E, |3 z; S- P1 N2 {, B Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell./ e, b$ c; l+ t1 Y
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color/ ^ k! s: h/ M/ F' v7 ?6 t
