I am now waiting for it to ferment, but I think I may have cooked the rice for too long. Do you know if overcooking ruins the whole process?

However, it seems to so time consuming to make, much easier to buy for about ukp7 a bottle... for wage comparison, McDonalds staff earn around ukp5 per hour, so it's not that expensive here.

I open the bottle and there were so much gas inside the the cap just pop open and the wine flew all over the place from the floor to the ceiling. A huge clean up after that :(ICook4Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405825862798280769noreply@blogger.com
