I bottled mine two days ago after fermenting for 21 days. I ended up with around a half gallon of liquid (I used 6 cups of long grain rice & 2 cups of sugar). Oddly enough, the rice placed in the 3 quart jar was considerably sweeter than that put in the 5 gallon bucket. The liquid in the bucket...

+1 for BrewAide. The dropbox sync of xml files is the winner here because I can create a recipe on my computer, and then sync it to my phone, tablet, or another computer. With recipe formulation, it would be the perfect all in one app that seems to be so elusive on Android. FYI, I use a...

I actually added sugar to the water I cooked the rice in. I took a WAG and added two cups for six cups of rice. This was only a week ago, so too early to really tell what the final results of this experiment will be. I didn't compare prices directly because I didn't know the difference at the...

Just an update. One week in the fermenter and I have around an inch+ of liquid in the bottom of the jar. Took a test sample from the bucket and it's delicious and more complex than I imagined. It's rather sweet, but there's definitely alcohol in there too. If I used long grain rice again, I...

No worries, and thanks for the advice. I guess that's why people are using the shorter cook times that I've seen on here. Mine had to cook for 20+ mins for all of the water to be gone.

Thanks for the advice Leadgolem. I didn't see your post before I put it in the fermenter this AM, so I used the rice/yeast/rice layer method, even though it would have been almost as easy to make balls because it was SO sticky! I grossly underestimated the volume of six cups of cooked rice and...

This recipe sounded ridiculously easy (just my style), so I thought I would try it. Went on the search for yeast balls and sticky/sushi/jasmine rice at the local Asian markets. I'm fortunate to have a large Asian population in nearby towns, so that means several stores to choose from. I found...

This amazing thread inspired my second post to the site and my second brew. This is my first attempt at a Grocer and Produce Alcoholic Beverage and also at washing yeast. I'm not really sure it could be called beer, but it will definitely have alcohol in it. I loosely based it on post #300, but...
