Makgeolli (Korean rice liquor: 막걸리) 

After you bottle it, do you have to keep it in the fridge? Or is it good on the shelf, & for how long (about)? Thanks!

"I don't want to get drunk... in daytime!" hahaha Maangchi, you're so funny!

I love the nostalgic stories about parties and your grandma ♥

watching maangchi wash rice is oddly satisfying....

My partner purchased me an Onggi for my birthday this month. We decided the first thing we would make is Makgeolli. Currently it is day 4 and progressing really well. :) Next week we will be making Kimchi.

Maangchi, I have been watching your videos for many years now and just because it is New Year's Eve today, I want to tell you something special about yourself. Aside from being a very talented chef, you also have one of the purest and kindest hearts. I can easily tell from the way you act and speak, and especially when you tell us your life stories. You are a true angel and deserve only the best that life can give. Happy New Year to you!

I just came home from my Korea trip and I went to a Makgeoli restaurant. I was alone but these two lovely ladies invited me to join them and we talked for hours! Makgeoli helps you make friends!

I’m dying when she was explaining about how her first batch wasn’t strong enough. “This is why people are drinking alcohol” 😂

Thank you for bringing Korean food culture to RU-vid! This is my absolute favorite Korean cooking channel here! 너무 감사합니다 Maangchi 선생님~ ^^ I'm definitely going to make this one day for my coworkers!!

와...진짜 보면서 감탄을 얼마나했는지 몰라요ㅠㅠ 저 살면서 막걸리 집에서 만드는거 처음봐요... 공장에서만 나오는건줄알았는데.... 역시 망치님 짱...ㅠㅠ 신의손이세요ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Thank you for your time, I am over 70 years young in Phoenix, Arizona USA and my 1st attempt to make Makgeolli in my 5L Onggi did not come out as I expected. The kitchen was around 81*F and after about 5 weeks when I went to fill my swing top 500ml bottles I wound up with the best tasting "Rice Wine Vinegar" I ever had. So I am using it for my vinegar for now. I made 5 and 1/2 bottles of it and I am down to one now.

뉴욕에서 막걸리를 만드신다니...망치님의 대단하심에 존경을 표하고 갑니다 가끔 알뜰살뜰하게 재료를 모으시는걸 보고있으면 저희 어머니를 보는 것 같아서 마음이 따뜻해집니다

망치님 마지막에 막걸리드실때 저도모르게 캬...이랬어요 학♥ 진짜 이번편 역대급 ㅜㅜ술을 좋아하는 저로서는 진짜 신기하고 또 재밌는 편이었어요♥ 아당장먹고싶다 ㅜㅜㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ한번 만들어도봐야겠어요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ진짜 재밌는 요리에요!ㅋㅋㅋㅋ막걸리짱!

I love her stories about her grandmother. You can tell she really got her love of cooking from her. ❤️

Someone submitted Russian caption for my Russian viewers! Thank you very much!

Good morning, Maangchi. I had been searching for a mochi recipe and came across many of your videos to include this one. I've watch just about all of them. I'm making makgeolli and just as you say, I've been excited to see the outcome every second. Thanks for this and all of your other videos!

I just received your cookbook in the mail yesterday! I was happy to not only have it for cooking, but to support you, and most importantly to learn a little more about your life. You are one incredible woman! I love your book and your videos!

I made my first kimchi and kkukdugi this week end, I am so proud thanks to your recipes ! Lots of love from France :)

This was so interesting. I loved that you showed us the progression.

Hello Maangchi , I just started to watch your videos and I enjoy them very much , bless your hands for making such delicious food ! I will be following your recipes very soon !

Maangchi! I just got your book today and I love it! Thank you for everything!!

One recommendation for fermenting alcoholic beverages - you can buy brewing yeast as opposed to baking yeast for a cleaner, dryer flavor.

Maangchi! My adult son & I made makgeolli and it finished today! Thank you so much for your recipe, video and tips. He bought me an onggi for my birthday specifically so we could use it for the makgeolli!

I really enjoyed watching this!! I'm making it definitely! Thanks, Maangchi!

I love me some Maangchi! I always learn something new about Korean cooking and culture when I watch your videos!

i would love to make this!!!! looks so delicious!!!

You kitchen always look so clean

Congratulations on publishing your first book! I am so proud of you, Maanchi! 👏🏼And thank you for still uploading your recipes to RU-vid, free of charge. That is very generous of you and it is appreciated😘😊

Never change! You are perfect and this was a wonderful video. I can’t wait to try this recipe

In Northeast India, we do make Rice wine and it's our traditional wine.. It's similar to Korean rice wine but store it in different container.. Love from Northeast India 💓

That is very Awesome! Thanks for another magnificent Video!! :)

Hi Maangchi I love your channel. Thank you for recipe of this Korean Rice drink.

Really nice video as always ! Your stories are touching and full of enjoyment !

I just finished a batch of this recipe this weekend. I definitely like it with a bit of sugar added. It has a kick! Tastes great with sausage and cheese on the side.

You are amazing Maangchi!!!!!

My cookbook with your autograph came in the mail yesterday! I'm so excited!!! Thanks Maangchi:)

Love your videos.make this for Christmas as a tradition in my cocuito ,Puerto Rican drink

Thanks for the recipe, and greetings from brazil!! Im in love with your chanel

You are an amazing chef, I'm Hungarian but you make me wish I was Korean! Thanks to you Korean tradition will live forever...you are adorable, I think you are great.

I got to hear your interview on NPR yesterday, really enjoyed it! :)

Maangchi Kim I recently ordered your book and it's supposed to arrive by this weekend. I'm so excited to read through it! I love watching all your videos and am sure I'll really enjoy trying out many of your amazing recipes. Keep up the fantastic work :D

Wow! This is such a cool project! My mom would love this recipe. It was very nice meeting you at your launch party Maangchi :D I'm very excited to begin making some more recipes from your book!

Indonesian caption is up now thanks to our volunteer captioner!

Just love your stories! Really makes the recipe shine :)

You are the cutest, Maangchi! May God continue to bless you with a life filled with joy.

Dutch caption is available now thanks to our volunteer captioner!

개인적으로 자주가는 인터넷 까페에.. 망치님이 미국 라디오 방송에 나오는 해외 기사가 소개가 되었더군요..^^ 지금까지 막걸리 담는 법에 대해서 어느 누구도 이렇게까지 자세히 소개해 주는 분은 없었던 것으로 생각하는 데.. 막걸리 영상 끝까지 재밌게 잘 봤습니다.. ^^

Maangchi, love your channel and one of the things I miss from Korea is that fresh, warm and steamy Makgeolli bread from the market in the morning. I hope you put up a video on how to make them at home! Thank you!

I don't know if it was just me but I really enjoy the moment when Maangchi washes her ingredients haha just something so relaxing and soothing about it 😂

I love your charisma and smile. I have watched maybe 15 different vieo on Rice Wine making and YOURS I have watched maybe 5 times. One reason is I am impressed with how little waste you have. The rice break down is better than any other methords. I have made Four attempts so far. I think it is that using the dehydrater for the rice which makes no sense if you soften and cook it first. I couldn't use 1 1/2 cups of Nuruk because it was so hard to find anywhere but on line. I got 10 ounces and used 1/2 for this last batch and the rest for my next batch. I want to see what flavor it will bring. Before I used yeast balls and regular Wine making yeast. I'll know in a week. I can't go out and buy a dehydrater but that won't stop me from my quest to make a Better Rice Wine with less left over rice waste. Thanks! Your video on 'Honey Butter is next on my 'TRY List.

Maangchi, I am so excited because I found the same ceramic pot for sale on my island and I'm picking it up tomorrow. Cannot wait to make this lovely booz lol

seeing your videos i feel like i wanna taste korean dishes....thank you for ur recipies....they are awesome

망치님 넘 대단하세요! 이국땅에서 우리나라 요리를 이렇게 맛깔스럽게 영어로 소개하시다니!!! 넘 멋져요. 요리법이나 재료 뿐 아니라 우리나라 옹기, 양은 그릇, 채...등등의 조리도구까지 제대로 보여주시네요! 흥이 나는 요리 소개 늘 감사히 잘 보고 있습니다!

Sofia Anna submitted Greek caption! Thank you, Sofia!

This recipe looks so cool! I've never made alcohol at home but I may try it now. I'll take a look for the ingredients at my local Korean market. On a side note, I just received your newly released cookbook! It is AMAZING!!!!!! I was blown away. It's even better than I had expected! You did an incredible job! I'm going to recommend it to all of my friends and family. Congratulations and keep up the excellent work. I'm so appreciative that I have learned about Korean culture and food through you, your book, and your channel

Hi Maangchi. Loving your channel. Great tasty food made so easy (and you always look so nice).

You are the best! I'm off tk buy Nuruk and rice. Looking forward to it 😆

Maangchi, I made your makgeolli while home for all the stuff going on! So easy and so good! My fermentation was still going pretty strong yesterday, but it seems to finally slow down overnight. It's day nine now, so I went ahead and strained and bottled it. Thanks for sharing your great recipes!

In Nepal, Rice Liquor is must for the big festival by Newar ethnic group. It's a very popular drink called "Chyang" in Newar language. Loved your video, remind me the beautiful days back in Nepal ❤️

Maangchi you have such a lovely and welcoming soul! I can not wait to try this soon! I'm waiting for your book to arrive! Let us know if your ever in London so I can give you a big hug! Lots of love X

You’re so adorable. Really good video. I’ve been craving Makgeolli every summer. But it’s hard to get it where I live. So I will try you recipe. Thank you so much!

In Mexico we make something similar but its called tepache its made with pineapple (my family uses the peel and eats the pineapple) we leave it for at least a week or two and once its done we put it in the blender with some pilloncillo (a brown sugar) and it's amazing. Because it is'nt very alchoholic my uncles like to put tequila in it.

Hi The wife and I both made a batch of makgeolli, 3dr day in , both are working just like Maangchi said , four or five days to bottling time , cant wait my wife is Korean she made it like her mother did when she was younger growing up. will see witch one comes out the best, lol thank you for your very thorough Video Jerry and Chusil

Hi Maangchi! I'm absolutely loving your cookbook! You did an amazing job!

i really enjoy watching your videos Maangchi !!!! Amazing as always :):)

Been making this for years in glass, but just got an earthernware crock! So excited to taste the difference!

I watched 2 days and 1 night's (1박 2일) special on makgeolli. The different ways to make it were interesting to watch and the food they paired the many variations of makgeolli were appetizing. Thanks for sharing Maangchi Makgeolli recipe. :)

You're so cute Maangchi! You had me laughing out loud with your lovely stories and anecdotes! :) Thanks for the great tutorials!

Omg homemade makkeoli?!! Awesome! Thank you maangchi for this recipe 😁💕💖💕

Saw many videos but your's seemed best . I am planning to make my first Makgeolli this week. Thanks for a great and easy presentation. -Chef Hemant Trivedi Austin

this looks delicious, great recipe!!

막걸리 한잔하면서 보고있네요 언젠가 만들어 보고싶어요~

Spanish (Latin America) caption is up now. One of my viewers volunteered to translate the caption. Thank you so much!

I made this using half of the ingredients and it was perfect for 2 quarts of makgeolli. My batch turned out perfectly.

Oh my goodness, Maangchi! Yesterday I watched "2 Days 1 Night", the episode about Makgeolli and now you are posting this video! I am so thrilled, thank you so much. It's like you can read my mind.

Maangchi I just got all my stuff to get started with this! I’m so excited to give it a try! Keep happy thoughts for me and the makgeolli!

설명을 아주 쉽게 재밋게 하십니다 ^^최곱니다.

You can teach very well. So easy to understand it. You're also very beautiful especially your heart. Love from Malaysia

I heard your interview on "Here & Now" on NPR on the radio! That's how I found your channel. Your videos are amazing! And the foods you make look so delicious!

Hi this was very nice video. I like the way you explain. Very nice.

Maangchi should get a patent for this product under the name, 'Sunny Breeze' and put it on the retail market.

우와.... 막걸리라니!!! 대단하십니다 이모님!!!

Thank you for all your great recipe,y whole family love Korean food. Thanks to you I learned so much :)

This is awesome! Going to try this recipe next week!

Hello Maangchi! Happy Lunar New Year! Thank you for the video! Can I use the rice cooker to cook the rice instead of cooking on the stove? Thank you!

Very entertaining and instructional video. I learned a lot from it. Thank you so much!

Came out really good!! Thanks Maangchi for the recipe

Hello, Mangchi! I'm a Korean highscool student. I'm intrested in cooking. So I respect you!! I am learning about English and cooking from you. Thank you♡ Can you make Hodoogwaza (호두과자) for me? I'd like to learn the recipe from you. Have a good day~:)

I just made this Makgeolli a few days ago, I can't wait until it's ready next week! I put it in a small half gallon unggi and it leaked all over the table haha :) So I poured it into a huge plastic fermenting jar that I use to make your kimchi (yay!). The makgeolli is about 3 days old and it smells delicious!

한국에 사는 한국사람인데도 망치님의 컨텐츠들을 시간가는 줄 모르고 보게 되네요. 내용이 너무 깔끔하고 망치님의 진행도 좋습니다. 한국요리의 레시피를 이렇게 세계에 홍보해주셔서 감사합니다. 항상 잘 보고 있습니다 :)

Hey Maangchiiiiiiii!! Thank you for your recipe! Made my batches of Makgeolli with white Rice and make video on it, will share it with you soon! Your recipe is spot on. As of the moment I am fermenting black rice and I'm so excited on how it will turn out. Also using makgeolli essence the white part as face mask and adding it to my soap too! will share my video with you next week. :) You are my food Korean hero! ❤️❤️❤️

i amazed with the recipe and want to try my first makgeolli... how long it can be preserved in the fridge after its done and well packed in bottle?

You are awesome !! :) love everything you do.

I wonder how it taste! :D
