I was struggling with this but searched for fermented rice recipes and it led me to the following

Much cheaper than the price you mentioned even with postage. To make the postage easier to swallow I stocked up on cup noodles. God I love cup noodles.

I'm about 12 days in and I never saw any mold on my rice O,o

Is this a problem? I have been swirling the jars almost daily and have a good bit of liquid in the bottom of both. It's kinda layered or separated.

I used sushi rice and yeast balls, I wonder, should I have used a sweet rice?

Thanks!

If you have liquid then you are probably good. No worries.

I never had mold on my rice, a bit on the cheesecloth though. It still made wine so I wouldn't worry.

I ordered the yeast balls from this site almost a week ago and never got a shipping confirmation e-mail. SaraMC, did you experience a delay with your order from that site?

They were on the East Coast, impacted by Sandy and sent me an email to let me know there MAY be a delay, but my order arrived within a week. And in fact my second order took only four days (they send discount coupons with each order). If you did not get a confirmation I would definitely call them.

Photos, finally. I do not have a yield on the red batch, which used a total of four cups raw rice; and the white batch made from just two cups raw sushi rice gave me 800ml, but I consumed 200ml already (hence the 600ml sticky). I will say that as the rice lees settled they compacted into a cake that held tight when I simply poured off the clear wine. I am sure if a larger volume is made and the finished wine polished via filtering the end product would be crystal clear, even though I am quite happy with it now.

So, wondering if the yield on red one will be close to 1600ml since I used double the rice but a different type. Both wines are delicious as-is, and I seriously need to pasteurize and bottle so I will not have to keep them in refrigerator.

Remember, you can find the notes on red batch on 11/13, and the white one on 11/18. Nothing like a successful experiment.

The red looks really tasty. Wondering what it tastes like! I was thinking about microwave or stove top pasteurization myself for those that were worried about storage but my wine keeps disappearing before I can experiment.
