This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.
y2 P* o( w) L/ l# H1. 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.
! K, V7 c0 K5 i1 F8 ?& b: I7 N2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,. N" Z8 j% u: Z: O
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.- \! v" P& R9 k1 c7 |- k. ?
