DIY - Rice Wine (米酒)The Making

* dated post *

It had been a while since the 1st ever rice wine was produced in my home. (Disclaimer : this was produced for own consumption, not meant for commercial).



糯米酒的做法 I
(1)将糯米洗净,用水泡两个小时
(2)象蒸馒头的方法一样,用蒸锅蒸四十分钟
(3)蒸好后,一定要完全凉凉
(4)用凉水搅拌顺一个方向糯米,将糯米打散,差不多一斤米一小碗水
(5)把酒曲赣成粉末,拌在糯米里
(6)将糯米放入容器,中间做一个洞,洞里撒上酒曲,糯米的表面也撒上酒曲
(7)盖上盖子,放在温暖的方法。25度到30度的温度最理想。
(8)24小时后打开查看,如看到洞里有酒出来了,就差不多好了。温度不够,就要相对时间长些。


米酒的做法 II

材料:
A.酒饼,用量:我买的是直径约两厘米的小圆球.大约一公斤糯米需要1粒半.
B.糯米C.密封的开口大点玻璃瓶.(其他可以密封的东西也可以).我买的是2000毫升的密封玻璃瓶,一公斤糯米需要两个.
D.一个蒸锅,一块比锅口稍大纱布.

准备:量好一公斤糯米,用凉水浸泡至少一个晚上.

做法:将纱布放蒸格上,将浸泡好的糯米放纱布上,开火蒸40-50分钟.蒸好后倒入大点的容器凉至温热,用一碗温水将酒饼尽量化开后,(另留开一小勺)一 边将酒饼水倒入凉好的糯米中,一边使劲搅拌糯米,尽量搅拌均匀),搅拌过程中可适量加些温水.搅拌好后装瓶,在中间弄个洞,将留的酒饼水倒入其中,盖好瓶 盖,用厚布包好瓶子,天热一般3-5天,天冷放暖气边,一般一两星期就可以了.好了以后放冰箱冷藏,随吃随取.
