Hi, great to come upon this topic. Giving it a try. I went to a chinese store today to buy the yeast balls. Pretty crazy as the guy barely spoke English. Finally he showed me 2 balls in a packet,(ah, don't get any ideas
that only said Dried Yeast made by Heng Lung. But it was in a box that looked like it was candy with kids on it. I asked but it wasn't though. He did show me a refrigerated bottle of something that said fermented yeast with a lot of 1/4" balls in it, not sure what it was. Anyway got the packet for .69 cents with 2 quarter size balls in it. I got sushi rice and plan on doing a 1 gallon batch. I'm confused though on the amount of rice to use. Any advice, cooked vs uncooked measurements?
