I'm living in a country where alcoholic products are banned due to religious reasons, i was trying to find any simple recipe. I tried it very carefully but after leaving rice in boiled water now i opened jar for adding sugar but the water is giving very bad smell like a dog died many days ago. I don't know it's normal or not? I throw the water away maybe I did any mistake but if smell is normal then please inform me
I made this using your recipe and bottled it today. Came out amazing and was sweet with 9.5% Alcohol. I am going to make it again but a bigger batch. This was the least complicated way to make rice wine. Thanks for the great recipe!
You can make it stronger by freezing it and then slow defrost and dripping the concentrated solution while leaving the ice behind. Drink in moderation like half a glass because the methanol not just the ethanol will be concentrated too. But this will be small and negligible in drunk in moderation. So if you have 20% ethanol, 2% will be methanol. 1L will have about 20 ml methanol at most after concentration. 30 ml can cause some serious damage. So half a glass should be about 10 times below the limit and you should be fine.
