Well, I found a Korean Rice Wine called "makgeolli". But it requires Nuruk (an enzyme) to break down the starches to sugars. After doing some reading, I'm very interested in making some of this. :D
But, I'm still very interested in finding a rice wine recipe that someone has tried and found to...
Someone here probably knows the answer better than I do. However, I have made 3 batches and each time I Primary ferment for 1 month, then bottle. I'm partial to keeping it simple and just let it condition in the bottle.
Just bottled a batch of this a few weeks ago. This batch turned out a lot better than my last batch, its already very drinkable. Nice crisp flavor and just slightly carbonated :)
I'm looking for a simple rice wine to make in a small 1 gal batches. At the moment I have zero interest in making sake or using the specialty yeast required for that type of wine. I'm looking for something simple with just a few cheap fermentable ingredients. Preferably something that doesnt...

25 litres of Water

Making the...
If you want a more cost effective route you could buy a packet of yeast and some yeast nutrient(or use a multivitamin), add them to 75-85*F water with molasses with the rough SG your brew will be at. Let it sit for a couple days, make sure to aerate. Then siphon off the spent wort and add fresh...
I have been experimenting with Grocery and Produce batches this week and I'm not sure if they are fermenting correctly or not.
The two batches are very similar, flaked oats or grape nuts for grains, molasses for sugar and ovaltine for malt. The SG of the two batches came out to 1.05 and 1.075...
