This was my failure
It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar." x2 n* @9 E- ^
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.
8 S4 u! A' m7 W! W; W5 r; e" H2. 2 to 3 hours later, peek at the jar, noticed some bubbling activity inside jar,.' i1 s; L s: w% q ]
Next day, more bubbling activitiy everywhere. slight alcohol smell.5 p! {# c4 H+ G( c/ u3 \8 i
in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color. Q# O+ a; O) [0 U( @7 L
4th day very little bubbling, shaked jar hoping to improve activity, (this could be the mistake)
