There is alot of recipes available on the Net... I used to use rice instead of sugar as the main ingredient... Last longer as compared to just sugar alone...

Yes indeed i'm using rice too. But I do add some sugar just to 'kick start' the system faster. My 1 little bottle had been 3+ weeks already.

I believe one don't need to follow the 'recipe' tightly as long as u have good flow of CO2 and don't need to change your bottle too often, you do have a good recipe!

As mention in powerpoint, the yeast need protien.

The rice use as protien to yeast?

The rice is cooked or raw?

How the proportion measure for your DIY CO2 mixed with rice?

Beside that, upon regenerate ....they say using back old yeast in bottle below and added new yeast help improve CO2 regenerate faster, is it true?

CAn try 5 liter mineral water bottle instead of 1.5 liter bottle !

Since 3x bigger then 3x longer

Opps...seem like Energizer battery advertisement...

raw rice or cooked rice? what is the qty you added in?

[tawauboy]

should be cooked rice. home-brewed rice wine is made from glutinous rice and yeast.
for a start, you can try using a cup of rice.
then adjust the rice quantity.
