This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.
$ H' g- ^/ }% H: ?& R, _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.
; R1 q( f4 m" y: p7 D2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.7 d4 |2 e" q+ ^$ m( y+ O
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.
0 ~8 B7 H, u6 G6 win 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color* w" y" Z b j E9 S: i
4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)
% P3 C, s. {* c9 x9 d/ i- U5th day no bubbling,: X: z- z8 X7 ^, w- N
6th day open jar, smell sour with alcohol smell.$ [* n3 P- E; f7 x& W/ D2 H" E
