How To Make & Distill Rice Wine
Jump to Connections
439,104 Views • Dec 11, 2020 • Click to toggle off description
I have wanted to distill rice wine (baiju or soju) for a long time. But the traditional methods always seemed like just a little too much work.

Thankfully I came across angel yeasts yellow label product. It promises to allow you to ferment starch WITHOUT mashing OR boiling! How crazy is that?!?

I decided to put it to the test to make my own distilled rice wine. Its similar to a traditional baiju or soju, more importantly its EASY to make.

After the testing in the video this is the recipe I would make again. You can split it into multiple fermenters like I did, or ferment in one larger fermenter

You will need:
6- 12 kg (13 - 26 lb) of rice (I used 6kg of medium grain)
Water
36 g (1.3 oz) Angel Label Yeast (Yellow label version!)

Method:
Mill the rice. Ideally to small course pieces
Add almost boiling water (around 3x the volume of rice)
Agitate well (A paint mixer is great)
Let it sit for 1 hr
Top up with cold or warm water as needed to reach a total volume of 55 l (14 gal) and reach a temp of 30c (86 f)
Hydrate the yeast in 35c water ( 95 f)
Add the hydrated yeast to the rice wash and agitate again
Ferment at 30c (86 f)
Wait another 3 days after fermentation has stopped then rack to your still
Run 3x stripping runs
Slowly distill the low wines in one spirit run
Make good cuts based on flavour

I visited a rice wine distillery near Ho Chi Min City in Vietnam where they fed the rice residue to a big pig in the corner. They then collected the pig poo and collected the methane into a big bladder/bag which was stored in the rafters of the shed with a hose running down to a stove which they used to heat and cook the rice for future batches. Any poo left over went into the fields to grow more rice. 100% recycling.

Hello everyone, I am the guy who provided Jesse with the Yellow Label Version Angel Yeast. I am sorry that our label is not very clear. I have to admit that it is rather confusing. Thank you Jesse for this great video! Mike

As a SEA boi, I'm quite glad to see you making this one. I personally think rice spirits are quite underated outside East and South East Asia. As you say in the video, rice spirits can be very pleasent to drink with an incredibly rich and sweet flavors. Sadly in Thailand the government bans small distilleries from going full commercial, so all we can get legally here are spirits from a few big factories which literally, and I can't stress this enough, literally taste like garbage, while the 'real' stuffs are brew illegally and locally in the countryside and impossible to get them in the city. So, dear you guys moonshiners out there, please do it lol, it really tastes good.

Amazing vid. Just want to add, sticky rice produce higher alcohol content than normal rice. If you have a rice cooker, use it to cook the rice, let it cool down. Spread on a clean surface and sprinkle yeast of choice. At this point no water is added. Let the rice and yeast mixture ferment in a container (preferably see through) and leave to ferment. After a few days (depending on temperature), alcohol will be produced in the form of liquid. Then add water, distilled will be best, cooked and let cool tap water is also sufficient. If you are like me, who don't mind to spend a little on bottled water, because it's easier, that's good too.😂 How much water too add? That depends on how much rice was used. I don't really measure my ingredients, rather estimate it with ratios instead. I'm Asian, so yeahh. 🤘😁🤘 A good beginning ration will be 1 part rice to 2 parts water. Then leave it to ferment as long as you can wait. For those who can't wait, give it atleast 2 weeks. But I know of some who likes it fresh. And for those who wants more punch in their alcohol, distill is the way to go. I have no say about distillation, for I only use more traditional style and I have not tried to build my own hack distillation rack. Hope this helps.

Distilleries in Japan have started aging their soju (shochu) in oak barrels and it tastes amazing. You should see if you can get ahold of an old sherry cask or something and test out aging your soju for a few years.

Long time professional brewer just getting into distilling. Wish you had distilled each batch separately. It was an interesting and valuable experiment quantitatively but with such wildly different variables on your grain it would have been fantastic to know if those variables lead to any qualitative distinction in the finished product. Perhaps the yeast in the batch that went low and slow produced fantastic esters? In my experience the best fermented beverages come from yeast that are required to work a little. Good on you for going real-time on your cuts. Thanks for the vid.

For rice spirit, in China normally the rice are first soaked overnight and then steamed, then spread and mix the koji or yeast with the warm rice, and then packed in containers to ferment. Different koji or yeasts (quite like sourdough starter in bread making), such as barley-made koji (which is the famous shaoxing rice wine in China is fermented with) or rice-made koji, together with the bio-environment where the wine is fermented will produce enormously different flavour and aromatic compounds, which makes different regional rice wines.

Great video on interesting topic. I've used 9g of these yeasts per kg of grain/flour/groats and 3-4 times water. For my tests it was about 10-15% difference in terms of ethanol efficiency between hot water treated grain and cold water treated. Also, you can just add these yeasts straight to the wash, they'll be fine. No hydration step needed.
