This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.; o* m; T- o+ J r! r8 y. \* ^
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.2 L. l+ K" V2 k4 C8 Z3 s% Z% ?1 m/ W) P
2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,./ D7 J4 k& b0 `" t, j
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell. o; a1 K3 q7 q2 J, |5 v! J
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color4 a; C0 Z; e- c2 V1 J$ D$ R
