RICE WINE
Recipe Type: Thai Jasmine
Dry Quantity: 5 cups
Soak the rice? (if yes, how long?): No, I just rinse till clean
Cooking Water: 5 1/2 cups
Cooking Method: Boiled
Yeast: Angel Rice Leaven
Yeast Quantity: 1/2 of an 8 gram package
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 21 days 68-71
Additional Ingredients (Volume): none

I rinse the rice until it's clear. I cook the rice until done and cool.
Once it's cool, I layer the rice and ARL into a clean and sterilized glass jar (see picture below)
Once assembled, I cover the top with a layer of cheesecloth and screw on the lid.
I then find a dark place (or cover with a towel) and keep it stashed for 21 days.

The final result is liquid on the bottom and a giant blob of rice that turns to mush. I use a strainer bag to harvest the wine into a sterilized container. I also squeeze the bag to get as much wine as I can. Because of this the wine is cloudy and thicker (but not slimy) and I prefer it that way.

Tasting Notes: Sweet wine with a strong alcohol burn that has a strong resemblance to sake. It has a white/cream color to it and smells a bit fruity.

I enjoy it cold, room temp and sometimes warmed up. Amazing that you can get alcohol from rice but be careful...this is some potent stuff.

I like to add a little juice. So far I have tried cherry, pomegranate, and blueberry. All yummy.
