This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.8 @* z( ]+ J0 M, m# W1 q* 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.
. m: h0 x6 F" C- w; ^' t2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.
" s% F8 u J* `# C K# n3 M' J b Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.
5 h4 a2 b& u8 |$ t0 J* K' xin 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color
