This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.5 Y( y( ^* U4 n+ t3 \
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.* I% [9 Z- t2 ^3 k* O3 t: S
2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.
& T" g w/ w: W, z. b$ U+ ]% B Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.$ C2 ^! |; J/ s
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color
# T* i% U. h7 C) f5 i- c# ~) F4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)
