Traditional Rice Wine Brewing Technique

Making rice wine is not very difficult, but you have to be prepared to fail, practice a few times, know which containers to use, what place to ferment at home (kitchen or next to the heater), how to keep warm, and form a series of rules of thumb on their own, then it's a good idea.

Prerequisites:

1, the prerequisite for making rice wine is to have a good brew (such as Angie's Sweet Wine Quarter).

2, rice wine should be fermented at about 30 degrees, so to make rice wine, you should choose the summer or winter (next to the heater) season, or homemade constant temperature room.

Steps:

1. Steam the glutinous rice (after soaking) into rice (not too hard) and then cool it to a temperature that is not too hot (using medium temperature fermentation, rice is too hot or too cold, it will affect the fermentation of the sake brewery);

2. Mix the appropriate amount of sake brewery and rice, put it in a container, flatten the surface, and grill the nest in the middle;

3. Put the lid of the container tightly. Put the container at a suitable temperature (if the room temperature is not enough, you can use a thick towel and so on to wrap the container to keep warm);

4, about 24 - 36 hours of fermentation, rice wine can be made.

Tips:

1, the key to making sake brew is cleanliness, everything can't be stained with raw water and oil, otherwise it will get moldy and hairy. You need to wash and dry the container for steaming the rice, the spatula for shoveling the rice and the container for fermenting the rice wine, and you need to wash and dry your hands.

2. In the middle of fermentation (12 hours, 20 hours), you can open the lid to see (don't open the lid too often), and if there is no wine flavor, you should keep the temperature and continue fermentation.

3, the wine brewing process is very clean, so if you occasionally find some long hairs (sometimes because the fermentation time is too long), remove the hairs, the wine brew is still edible. If you every time to make the liquor brew are full of long hair, and colorful, it is estimated that which operation link dip raw water or oil and not clean, can not be eaten again.

4, with ordinary rice to make rice wine, the results are also good.
