The next day, we take a grain of glutinous rice and crush it with a gentle squeeze of our hands, indicating that it has been soaked, and drain the soaked glutinous rice
Our rural steamed glutinous rice is generally steamed in a large wooden barrel, of course, this is steamed dozens of pounds of glutinous rice, if the steamed glutinous rice is less, it is also possible to use a steamer. Use chopsticks to poke some holes in the glutinous rice to facilitate the glutinous rice to be gassed, which is also easier to steam. Cover and steam over high heat.
How long does it take to cook glutinous rice? If it is a steamer basket, it will be cooked in about 20 minutes, if it is such a large wooden barrel, the time is longer, generally 40 minutes to cook.
Pour the steamed glutinous rice flour into a larger basin and let it cool. Remember, the glutinous rice flour must be left cool before proceeding to the next step, otherwise the sweet wine will be sour.
After the glutinous rice flour is completely cooled, we prepare a waterless and oilless basin, remember, be sure to be waterless and oilless, otherwise the sweet wine will become flavorful. Pour the sticky rice in, we sprinkle a little cold white on top of the sticky rice (remember to be cool white, not with cold water), use our clean hands (you can also wear disposable gloves), spread the sticky rice flat and try not to stick together.
Then add the prepared sweet wine koji, sweet wine koji according to the instructions, generally one pound of glutinous rice 4g of sweet wine koji, 10 kg of glutinous rice to add 40g of sweet wine koji, stir well, so that the sweet wine koji and glutinous rice are fully mixed together. Prepare a ceramic or glass jar, do not use a plastic jar, pour the glutinous rice in, press it evenly with a spoon, and use the spoon to dig a hole in the middle. If there is less rice, you can also use a tin pot. Cover it with a lid or seal it with plastic wrap

After the sweet wine has been fermented, we have to put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate, let it stop fermentation, if you continue to let it ferment, the sweet wine will age, the taste will become bitter, and it will be easy to mold.
