This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.% n' u2 m, a8 e, u
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.
; o4 U; L3 w! I& B2 n2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.; M' B1 g- W' S( _' [
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.% h7 E, s" j: g# l& L& O
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color7 [' E- A. x( {! n" K z6 m
