It is absolutely stunning the difference between a higher water:rice ratio and a 1:1 ratio. Completely different product. Same rice, same pitch rate, so sweet and fragrant as opposed to super tart and dry. Today made a batch with 2 parts sweet rice, 1 part basmati, and a small amount of forbidden rice for color. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
I was talking with my son about this today (he's 33 now and there was a time when he could TASTE but not DRINK the final product, no drunken children allowed). The lower the water to rice ratio the more sugar will be left when the alcohol content disables the yeast.
I'm going to try this. I usually add some water on the second day. What I get is sweet and tart that way.
