You cannot use regular yeast, the yeast balls have another mold in them that breaks the starch down to sugars first before the yeast eat the sugars. Also you do not need to add water.
Mr. Woo, I have mad levels of respect for you. I've been working from a very Western, barley focused brewing tradition for the last 25 years (which, I fully acknowledge, is younger than the traditions developed by a number of people groups in Asia). This method you demonstrate, your attention to cleanliness and sanitation, and using paint straining bags, which are the exact same things they sell at home brew supply stores, but for a much higher mark-up, speak to your ingenuity, your attention to detail and your problem solving skills. Also, you used common equipment that most kitchens have, which, to me, is the piece de resistance. Thank you so much for sharing this technique with the world. I can't wait to try it out.
I stumbled upon your video, the title interested me. My Mom who is now 86, used to make rice wine when we were growing up. She didn't have the equipment you had (airlick, carboy, etc) but I remember her rice wine tasted so good. I always wanted to learn how to make it....so thanks so much for posting the video! God bless!
Summary: 1. Steam rice 2. Spread it for cooling 3. Sprinkle yeast on it 4. Put it in a air tight container while putting yeast 5. Open after 21-30 days 5.5.. rice should float on top 6. Strain the rice in another big container 7. The wine can be drinken (optional) 8. Put the wine in fridge for settling for 1-2 days 9. Pasteurize(heat) it upto 60°C or 145F.
I just bottled my wine today and it turned out a cloudy milky colour. Probably 12-13% in strength, sweet, slightly tart, but not much other flavour. I would say considering all I did was leave it in a bucket for about 3 months it was pretty damn easy to make. I had a lot of rice mash left so used muslin cloth and funnel to strain it into the bottles. For my next batch I will try distilling it. Thank you for sharing this video.
@@lotus1219 A family friend of ours makes glutinous rice spirit (distilled) in the style of Southern Han Chinese. It has a very aromatic bouquet. The sweetness in a wine though would be due to incomplete fermentation. There is also a dessert recipe whereby the rice is only allowed to ferment for a few days creating a sweet and mildly alcoholic treat. Have never tried it though because I'm wary of diabetes.
if you don't have a lot of yeast for your big container of rice, you can start with a small container first, and you can reuse the ferment rice to start with a big container.
Hi again it has just been over two weeks, I have squeezed and repeatedly filtered and bottled. But I did not bothered to pasterise. Just put them straight into the fridge. After a few days later in the fridge. I just tasted it... it's nice and sweet and it has carbonation ( it's fizzy). What do you reckon.
When the yeast makes poops out the alcohol (for lack of a better term lol) it makes gas...which is why you need the airlock to release said gas. That constant gassing of your liquid essentially carbonates the beverage. So what you're noticing is quite normal.
you put it in an airtight bottle ? that increases the CO2 contained in your wine , thats called carbonated drinks, usually u do that with champagne or beer but anyway , you need to let the "air" from the inside get out, dont worry about it getting too much air from the outside .. eventually the pressure beetween CO2 comes out and oxygen getting in your wine will be stable.. I mean if theres too much CO2 from your bottle ..
in indonesia we use almost the same method to make the "Tape Ketan" well the diference is the rice type, we use "Ketan Rice" because its taste more. White or Red ketan rice is not making any diference, and its making a nice amount of sweet liquid for just a few day. we also use cassava to make another type of "Tape" we call it just a "Tape" or "Peyeum" its also make sweet liquid well its fermented by yeast. Try search it on UA-cam maybe someone make the video or google it. Note: we make it not to drink but to eat it as a snack, but its ok to drink it if u want. I recomend to try Tape Ketan and Peyeum if you visit Indonesia, come to west java to taste the real thing. thanks
joeditomtallongan yes its almost the same thing but in indonesia we have 2 variant of tape, i already say it was peyeum from cassava and tape ketan from "Ketan Rice". here some peopple call both of them simply tape/tapay/tapey, but sundanesse call peyeum for tape made from cassava. "Ketan Rice" its different from normal rice
or you can freeze it and pour off the concentrated alcohol, then you don't have to worry about it spoiling. Or just freeze it halfway if you don't want it too strong. High alcohol content will still prevent spoiling.
***** Homemade stuff is very satisfying when it turns out right and often you automatically know the right way if you do it the wrong way first. Or you could just buy it. lol
darma pal If you want the full (concentrated) original flavor, just freeze concentrate. 100 proof vodka will preserve any kind of fermented drink but why ruin it?
Cook the rice, let it cool down for sometime, spread it on a flat clean surface, add the yeast balls as per the quantity demands, keep the rice covered in a container, basket, bucket etc, and wait for a week or so. So simple ,I do it several times a year.
How many cups of uncooked rice did you start out with. I'm going to try this because you don't have to add sugar. This could be a nice recipe for ATSHTF. Have you tried adding sugar? What was your ETOH content?
MaZEEZaM I know this comment is quite old, but when he said “clean” he meant “Sterilize” You’d have to do the same with the muslins as well. Both could be vectors for cross-contamination otherwise
Hi bro i have a problem with this i make the rice wine in three ways one of them was this one in the video the 2 other is becamed white like in the cid but third one became brown do you know what i have to do
It will never go away even if you are thin. I've always been fit and I get hungry every time I hear traditional music that corresponds with a cuisine I like. Which is basically every cuisine. #fatsoul
You don't say to add any liquid other than what's in the cooked rice, but you seem to get an unreasonably large quantity of liquid in the end. What's up with that?
+Greg Zuro That is the amount of water in the original cooked rice. 1 cup of rice will absorb 1 cup of water. The fermentation process will break down the rice into sugars and then into alcohol so you get most of the water and what sugar turned into alcohol in the end. So you should end up with the same amount if not more rice wine as water that you started out with.
That kind of yeast in my country called “ragi” and that will make rice fermented become sweet my grandmother alway make “ tape ketan” ( fermented glutinous rice) in eid fitr so sweet
@@raditya5663 yup in some places in Indonesia they also make this kind of wine, named Ciu or Arak Beras, it was basically just like this rice wine ;) (sorry for my bad english, I'm also an Indonesian :P)

No way it's even close to 100%, what you had wasn't even distilled. Most sake's I've had, which isn't many were around 15% or so if I remember correctly.
Who in their right mind decided to consume the cloudy piss colored water at the bottom of old rotting rice they probably forgot about for a few months? Whoever that was, had a happy surprise.
I live in South Africa, and rice fermenting balls are not available in this country. What else can I use to obtain fermentable sugars from the rice?. If I malted some maize and mixed it with the rice, would the amalase generated work on the rice? Please help.
+nickwoo2 Thanks for the quick reply. Your right, easy to find online, unfortunately the only reviews on the 2 gallon size I see is from amazon. however, an air tight seal seems questionable. Since yours worked for rice wine, why not get mine from there too..would appreciate pointing the way. Or did you have to modify to get an airtight seal? www.amazon.com/Gallon-Plastic-Fermenter-drilled-lid/dp/B0064O8WWE/ref=pd_sim_263_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41lfv3yOvIL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=02CG0Y67NN41AR6TFPTF
If you want easy alcohol, search youtube for the youtuber doingitcheap and his wine. I made a batch and it was literally the easiest thing imaginable. Sadly, my roommate drank it all before I had a chance to try it. He got wasted and said it was delicious lol.
It is actually easier than the video because you can drink it as soon as rice floats. Could be a a few days. The rest is just for clearing or aging process. Stick demijohn in chest freezer to clear and you have rice wine in a week.
I make my own "hard cider" that is easy. Sorry it's in metric. 10 litres of apple juice, 10 litres of water, 2 kilos of sugar, 2 tablespoons of regular yeast. Mix it all up, wait 30 to 40 days and you get over 18 litres of 12% to 14% alcoholic cider. Works out to about a buck a bottle.
Actually im a home brewer too and i liked to experimenting ciders, mead, sake etc. And yes its mostly because alcoholic beverages is banned in my country
@@nickwoo2 and how many yeast balls for the 16 cups?, thanks! also how long fermenting in the bucket, i made some wine rice last time i left like 2 weeks and the flavor wasnt that sweet, was like somehow bittersweet 😟
As a brewer, the only questionable thing I specifically saw was the hot water into the bottles. And that is simply because there was no warning of not to use boiling water due to high risk of thermal shock breaking them. I would think, anyone who is cooking in any fashion would be washing their hands thoroughly.
Hi i cant find a bucket similar to yours do you have an idea of where i can find one maybe a link please and for the yeast do i need the chinese yeast or any would do
Using only 2-3 cups of rice??? I thought we were going to make wine. What yeast is that? I don't read Japanese, ETC. You rinse with hot water and stick your hand in the bag. I am a home wine maker and we don't do these silly things. Go ahead and use regular quart beer bottles with screw tops.
How do you know that it was 2-3 cups of rice? I'm here in the comments trying to figure out the amount of rice needed. While the video is somewhat informational, the measurements are severely lacking.
I want to start making this this week but not sure if it'll ferment well in the cold weather of London. Average room temp now is about 18-19 C. But then again, I don't want to wait till summer lol
You cannot use regular yeast, the yeast balls have another mold in them that breaks the starch down to sugars first before the yeast eat the sugars. Also you do not need to add water.
Where can you order the yeast balls?

How would I do that--just add some of the fermented rice to new rice? Does the ratio matter?
Jed Jackson Thanks!
Don’t forget to mention, super clean EVERYTHING hands tray etc.
recommend using glass, not plastic and let the rice cool to warm before adding yeast.
He pasteurized it after that, which wouldn't help kill any bacteria and prevent it from growing

Also, remove watches, bracelets, rings from your hand when preparing food (or wine) because bacteria dwells in them.
Wash hands, don't forget.
Cool. Do you add the flavoring right before serving?

You don't mention adding any water to the fermentation vessel. Is the liquid just the residual from the rice cooking process? Or did I miss a step?
nope no added water
haha i want asked you about water too.
scottyplug good question.
No need to add water... just squeeze it after the fermentation...
Korean makgeolli does use a bit of water and mix it in the beginning..
Do you monitor your surroundings temperature during fermentation period? Any effect on temperature on your wine?
It seems to stop below 70 so keep it between 70 an 75. Seems warm for fermentation but works for me. I like it after about 9 months of aging
Just a tip. If there is enough space behind your refrigerator, you can place it there. It’s warm enough for the fermentation to take place
Thanks

Who in their right mind decided to consume the cloudy piss colored water at the bottom of old rotting rice they probably forgot about for a few months? Whoever that was, had a happy surprise.
I live in South Africa, and rice fermenting balls are not available in this country. What else can I use to obtain fermentable sugars from the rice?. If I malted some maize and mixed it with the rice, would the amalase generated work on the rice? Please help.
Can you just use regular yeast?
no the yeasy balls also have a mold that is necessary
Isn't yeast itself mold?
Yes yeast is a type of fungus but there is a different species that breaks down the starch first.
bull shit yeast is yeast
the yeast balls have more than just yeast they have flour and a mold as well.
this is almost the same with our traditional way of making rice wine..nice sharing
Rock lee would like to know your location
Naruto
😂😆😁 so would tsunade
Is there a need to stir the rice at fermentation or just let it ferment for 3 weeks? Thanks
I dont stir it. It might help I just haven't tried it.
@@nickwoo2 thank you much help
Easy, he says. Haha!
Compare this to making a decent tasting beer or (grape) wine and yes, this is easy.
Where did you buy the yeast?
I’m sorry but I must have missed the easy part!
Easy part is to spend 5 dollars and n buy a can
Its easier to make than any other wine
how long do you stream the rice for? and how many mbps does it require to stream said rice?
I'll Share this video to my friends in riyadh saudi...
Good video, just one question, where can we get that bucket ? Thanks.
I got it from a homebrew store. im sure you can find one online. make sure it is pet plastic.
+nickwoo2 Thanks for the quick reply. Your right, easy to find online, unfortunately the only reviews on the 2 gallon size I see is from amazon. however, an air tight seal seems questionable. Since yours worked for rice wine, why not get mine from there too..would appreciate pointing the way. Or did you have to modify to get an airtight seal?

that should work fine, at least for the fermentation part.
That aint so easy to make, believe me.
Lala Shelala
Easier than traditional methods I suppose.
this video is barely 6 mins. how it is not easy
If you want easy alcohol, search youtube for the youtuber doingitcheap and his wine. I made a batch and it was literally the easiest thing imaginable. Sadly, my roommate drank it all before I had a chance to try it. He got wasted and said it was delicious lol.
It is actually easier than the video because you can drink it as soon as rice floats. Could be a a few days. The rest is just for clearing or aging process. Stick demijohn in chest freezer to clear and you have rice wine in a week.
Is it necessary to uee Chinese yeast can't we use normal yeast .?
That did not look "easy." I'll stick to buying my wine from the store.
I make my own "hard cider" that is easy. Sorry it's in metric. 10 litres of apple juice, 10 litres of water, 2 kilos of sugar, 2 tablespoons of regular yeast. Mix it all up, wait 30 to 40 days and you get over 18 litres of 12% to 14% alcoholic cider. Works out to about a buck a bottle.
Davies what is the receipe for 2 or 3 litres ???
Actually im a home brewer too and i liked to experimenting ciders, mead, sake etc.
And yes its mostly because alcoholic beverages is banned in my country
how much rice did u add? did two cups of rice really yeld approx 5 liters of wine in the carboy? or did u back fill with some water?
In this batch i use 16 cups of rice that is enough to fill a 2 gallon bucket and produce about a gallon of wine.
@@nickwoo2 and how many yeast balls for the 16 cups?, thanks! also how long fermenting in the bucket, i made some wine rice last time i left like 2 weeks and the flavor wasnt that sweet, was like somehow bittersweet 😟
In Sarawak, we call it tuak. There is a potent next version of this.
Yg apa? montoku ka buss..😂
Not the same.. Tuak need water n sugar.
How many whistles if cooking in a pressure cooker?
CAN WE GET SUMMOAR RASS WAN?!
(if you get the reference you're awesome hahaha)
Can I use overnight rice?
I guess you still have lots of starches that hasn't converted into sugar.
the music is the bomb. traditional Japanese!
The method with the yeast balls isn't japanese, it's chinese.
But the music is Japanese.
Just Japanese in a general sense. Simply Asian music. Sounds more Chinese to me.
What kind of yeast is this?
Ok, the only intelligent thing I saw after mounds of sanitary screw ups was pasturizing. Good boy!
What were these sanitary screw ups?
adding flavor that was hand crushed after pasteurizing seemed like a screw up to me
It was crushed with a potato masher. You can also just clean your hands thoroughly and it will do the job well.
As a brewer, the only questionable thing I specifically saw was the hot water into the bottles. And that is simply because there was no warning of not to use boiling water due to high risk of thermal shock breaking them. I would think, anyone who is cooking in any fashion would be washing their hands thoroughly.
Basic_Psychology lol
Thank for your reply. Did you test how strong the alcohol was?
I don't have an exact number but it is stronger than any wine i have made so far. I would say 15-20%.
I'd run it thorough a still first.
Hi i cant find a bucket similar to yours do you have an idea of where i can find one maybe a link please and for the yeast do i need the chinese yeast or any would do
Any bucket with a lid will do and best use dried yeast ball (Chinese one ) not sure about other yeast ✌
Technically it is beer not wine.... Wine is made from fruit, beer from grain....
no.
Is any kind of white rice is ok
Using only 2-3 cups of rice??? I thought we were going to make wine. What yeast is that? I don't read Japanese, ETC. You rinse with hot water and stick your hand in the bag. I am a home wine maker and we don't do these silly things. Go ahead and use
regular quart beer bottles with screw tops.
How do you know that it was 2-3 cups of rice? I'm here in the comments trying to figure out the amount of rice needed. While the video is somewhat informational, the measurements are severely lacking.
Hi, how much weight of rice needed to use two chinese yeast balls?
One yeast ball is 10 grams, is enough for 600 grams of unboiled rice ✌
I want to start making this this week but not sure if it'll ferment well in the cold weather of London. Average room temp now is about 18-19 C. But then again, I don't want to wait till summer lol
I think wine making shops across the pond have heating pads for your problem. (Wishing you good wine making from Texas.)
can you put it right next to a heating vent, steam pipe, or radiator?
Thanks! It actually took me 7 months to start this.
It will be ready in winter too.. best to have it bit warmed.... with meat best ...
We usually ferment only for 8_10 days only...
How many cups of rice.how many yeast balls.how long before the first batch is ready
i used 16 cups of rice and 3 yeast balls but you can vary widely from that and get good results.
Can i have that yeast balls from online? Helpppp. Or can i use an yeast used for baking?
Not sure where you from, try Asian grocery stores if they is one around, Yes you can buy it from ebay but expensive, google it Dried yeast ball
Sorry I never try using baking yeast, i always use Chinese dried yeast ball
Fanchunthanga i did some experiments with baking yeast and it doesn't work, need to have the right dried yeast ball
@@yewleong26, ok. I'm so thankful.
