I recently bought a big 3 gallon glass jar for agua fresca from World Market that I have been using. I quite enjoy having all the extra wine from the large batches. :-)

<----- Mr. I'm not going to waste time pasteurizing ... has started pasteurizing. I have bee making bigger batches. I bring a pot of water to boiling and put the bottle in it closed for five minutes. Seems to be enough. Its really easy so you might as well.

I still shake mine before serving.

Looks pretty ready to me

Ewwww.... or you could just stick to rice. :D

Yes. Yes. Yes.

I laughed at this part! I brew other stuff around my rice wine all the time! Aspergillus which is likely what is performing the saccharification though is a prolific contaminant at least in the laboratory environment.

Your mileage may vary. I would say you need to experiment with your batches. Some will turn into rice vinegar after a while but some on here claim keeping it for months. Mine is usually all ingested within a week or two.

You might be ok. I don't actually start see liquid pooling in mine for 7 days or so. I think I make my rice drier than most.

Someone at some point in time was going to try to brew beer with with these yeast balls but I don't think it ever happened.

Ditto. I find my cool batches take longer to produce but result in a better tasting product. The original recipe states to "stick someplace warm" but I have always done mine in the 65-75 range. I don't think you will have any issues with 80 but I certainly wouldn't go like 90 or above.

Just popped two batches in yesterday for the first time in months. Booyah!

Fun little sideblurb. *********1, the proprietor of Hot Chicks with *********s referenced love for the rice wine in this post: http://hotchickswithdouchebags.com/2013/12/10/chandlerbag-puts-on-the-ritz/ I wonder if he found the post here...

I have not. I am rather antisocial, especially when it comes to groups of complete strangers. A buddy of mine though that I unfortunately haven't talked to in a while used to speak highly of the Duke City Brewers club (I think that is their name).

My mold is white.

Problem with pickle jars is that they somehow maintain the essence of pickle no matter how much you wash them...

Yup.

I wish I could help you there man. My dogs only have one job and they work hard at it... making me a sucker for them.

Boo :(

That isn't a fair argument either Tx. Cable TV costs money so there is a perfectly good reason not to have it if you don't want to watch television. Over the air requires hooking your TV up to an antennae. While not particularly difficult, if I have no desire to watch any television ever...
