Speaking of home-brewed rice wine, everyone may immediately associate it with sweet rice wine (wine brewing). Although the red rice wine issued today is also made of glutinous rice rice wine, it also has the same nourishing and health-care effect as sweet rice wine; no matter the yeast used, the brewing method, time, the color of the finished product, and the taste are all very different from sweet rice wine. This kind of red rice wine is not as sweet as wine, nor is it as strong as white wine. It is more fragrant and mellow than the usual cooking wine. But it has the methodology for eating the above three wines.
This red wine is rich and has a slightly sweet taste. The alcohol content is about 12 degrees. Used to stew eggs, stew soup is an excellent nourishing food for pregnant women; usually when cooking fish, add a little stew to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma; when friends gather in winter, heat up a pot of red rice wine and serve it with a side dish. It not only warms the body, but also won't hurt the body like drinking white wine.

Steps for Red rice wine
1
The glutinous rice is washed and soaked in clear water for 12 hours. The soaked glutinous rice is washed again until the rice washing water becomes clear.
2
Put the cooked rice in the steaming tray and steam for 30-50 minutes (Make sure to steam until the rice is ripe and has no white heart. If there is not such a large steaming tray, also use it in an electric rice cooker to cook, but don't put too much water. Tilt the pan as long as you can see the water.) Put ten kilograms of water (I use tap water) into the glass jar used to make wine (it would be best if you have a pottery jar) for later use.
3
Place the steamed rice in a large basin and cool until it is not hot.
4
Put the yeast into the rice and mix well.
5
Then put it into the jar that has been filled with water and close the lid (don't cover tightly, leave some space)
6
Wrap the wine cans in a black bag to avoid light and place them in a cool place.
7
This is what the rice looks like just after being put down for a while.
8
When you open the lid the next day, you will hear a slight sound of fermentation and bubbling. Normally, it will start to expand and bubble from the next day. During this time, stir with a clean wooden stick or bamboo stick two or three times a day to promote fermentation. This is what it looks like six days later.
9
After about 6-7 days, the rice no longer floats. When it begins to sink, seal the lid, wrap it in a black bag, and place it in a cool and dark place. This is what it will look like 12-15 days later.
10
This is what it will look like 25 days later.
11
You can drink it in about 30 days.Red rice wine Make Tips
