This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.
3 c+ ]& e2 y( C7 s* @1 ^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.
) [ _3 Y4 J' V/ \, v2 K2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.3 ~7 r) B0 P- N* z' s8 a: E0 S- C
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell. S$ u' v I+ P# Q+ b5 |4 [, _7 j& j
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color
Z1 I, V y* L6 x7 }4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)

After this failure, I tried several times, using different kind of yeast, some fromm Vancouver, other from different Edm store, all failed.

1. 1/2 jar of air inside jar might has germs that ruined reaction
; Y% z+ j- F" _" s; m2. cleaning not complete.
