This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.; O1 M+ D; i9 z$ Z6 L2 R; e 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.
% t2 A# R4 w4 ^ _$ ~9 E6 S2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.$ y3 N3 m0 O- k$ X: e
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.

7 j+ i: e% s: w* e4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)
