I tried turning 5kg of (dry) rice into rice wine, making use of a 20L bucket. I did not buy sticky rice and I did not steam my rice: I just kept throwing batches into my rice cooker. After rice cooked and cooled down in the bucket, I smeared in rice wine mold-yeast The end result was not good. Most of the rice became a thick, porridge like consistency. Despite containing high amounts of alcohol, the solids and liquids formed an undesirable team and possibly a 5th state of matter. Starting throwing slop a bowl at a time through a filter from one bucket to another, and as space began to emerge in the fermentation vessel I began adding water and shaking, in the hope to liberate more alcohol from solids. After many hours of pointless labor, my bucket with liters of thick, milky "rice wine" is just about a bust in my book. At least I can just distill it to make it not end up a complete waste... |
