I got drunk off my own sake

!boozers

I have spent the last few months building a koji incubator, incubating koji and then fermenting sake. I spent today pasteurizing and bottling the sake, and finally got drunk off homemade ricewine.

It's unfiltered nigorizake and it's DELICIOUS

Followed this to a T

For koji:

3 cups short grain rice, soak for 45 minutes

Steam uncovered for 10 minutes (MUST be steamed, I used a bamboo steamer with parchment paper i poked holes in) then steam covered for 20 minutes.

Let it cool to room temp, innoculate with 1 tsp of spores mixed in w/1tbsp of flour (for more even spread)

Keep it in a place that's between 27 and 31C but not more than 35C or it will die. Some people do this manually with a heating pad and a cooler, traditionally just warm rice in a cedar box. I built an incubator out of a fridge

keep it in a place that's 27C

That implies somewhere in your house is that warm. Otherwise you would have said put it in an incubator at 27C.
