Rice Wine---Sake (Saki)

Ingredients:

Procedure:

. Place rice and chopped raisins in nylon straining bag, tie top and
..place in primary fermentation container.

. Pour hot water over rice and stir in all ingredients except yeast and energizer (nutrient).
.. (don’t forget the grape concentrate if not using raisins).

. Wait 48 hours.

. Add yeast and energizer and cover primary.

. Stir daily, checking gravity and pressing pulp lightly.

. When gravity reaches 1.050 (2-3 days), add 1/4 pound dissolved sugar or
..honey per gallon.

. When gravity drops to 1.030 (6-7 days) strain juice from bag.

. Siphon wine into secondary fermentation container and attach airlock.

. At specific gravity 1.020 add another 1/4lb of dissolved sugar or
..honey per gallon.

. When fermentation is complete. SG of 1.000 or less, siphon off into a
..clean secondary container and attach airlock.

. Siphon every 2 months to aid in clearing.

. Bottle when fermentation ceases or when ready.

It is possible to continue building up alcohol by adding additional sugar until fermentation ceases. For a sweeter drink, add 1/2 teaspoon stabilizer and 1/4 pound dissolved sugar, per gallon, before bottling.
Of course, you can adjust this recipe according to your past wine making experiences.

Good luck and Happy Sake making!
