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 ?8 o! M) T# x6 E1. 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& G) C) x0 `! H" J) A6 q2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.7 c# O" g3 U9 f7 [
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.; S0 M' M; @) U" P* t+ ^/ N
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color
2 Z6 w% y7 F2 P Y+ O4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)
