So when it comes time to rack mine my idea was to siphon as much as I can and then dump the rice into a paint strainer bag and let it drain. Hopefully it won't be too gooey

I just put together 2 large batches of this sake brew...
I used jasmin rice and yeast balls from an Oriental market down the road.

The jars I used are maybe 1 gallon I suspect - I tore the stickers off them before reading them...bought 2 at Walmart for about $5.50 each.

In each jar I put approximately 6 1/2 - 7 cups of cooked rice along with 5 1/2 yeast balls.

I have one of these Magic Bullet grinders at home and used it to crush up the yeast...works awesome and turns it into a fine powder!

It has been about 24 hours and I have not yet seen any development - maybe I am expecting something too soon... I added the yeast to the rice in those jars while the rice was still quite warm. Is it possible I killed off the yeast due to the high temperature?

Thanks!

I just finished making another 11 cup batch of jasmine rice. I have this one in another stainless stock pot. This time I put the rice inside a 5 gallon paint strainer bag to ferment. Hopefully at the end all I have to do is pick the bag up and drain it. I guess I'll find out in 21 days

Going to be a heavy bag to lift!

I'm just hoping it works instead of oozing through the bag or something. I'm refraining from trying my other batch. That one should be ready Sunday and I promised my landlord I would send some with the rent payment

Has anyone tried potassium sorbate to end fermentation?

Sorbate will not end/halt/stop a fermentation.

Why cant you just pasteurize to end fermentation?
