It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.
) a! I% ^: b4 p) y1 j" {2 l1. 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.( Y7 v$ V. i- |9 g |
2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.# A0 l: q5 |, x0 u. \
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.) H: a! f2 b4 c6 G* c4 Y( Q
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color

# y" M/ A6 |( zConclusion -- when compare with your steps, these are the reasons of failure :-

1. 1/2 jar of air inside jar might has germs that ruined reaction+ |8 I% Z) r3 s
2. cleaning not complete.
