This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.! Z0 ]- e3 R) W
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.
7 A" `3 J- j. p8 n+ V9 S1 U" ~; d$ V2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.
7 @! ~$ X& ?$ o" \/ m$ E+ d# v Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.
7 H' a1 r# U+ T8 tin 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color
( ]4 Y6 T9 M' i) C) a0 W: E4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)
