It wa summer time room temp was 30C, I was experiment with a small amount inside a Robertson jam jar.; f% S: \, R5 n5 l2 Z. n/ Q/ W) J% y
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.

in 3rd day rice broke down from it's shape, stronger alcohol smell, truns darker color D2 c, T/ s8 }: q2 ~% ~0 [
