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 t/ x* i& Y# i7 b' L
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.
5 D! Y$ H; L/ {$ p8 q0 }1 t2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.' e$ p1 c9 C% [8 T$ z
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.8 p# I0 E) R6 _, ]: [6 {
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color/ n: n: T' x1 s/ h
4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)
# f, n- W1 E% v z3 W* n# Z5th day no bubbling,6 z/ V4 F! k2 Q |" l0 w

Conclusion -- when compare with your steps, these are the reasons of failure :-
