hello guys today we make black rice wine
similar to the rice wine that I already
posted but
different this is the yeast I collect
from the preview
fermentation for this recipe we don’t
put the the rice in the water and the
water because if you do this you lost
the color so we will keep the water and
cook directly our rice here we have 1
kilg and 600 G of black rice divide in
800 G and 800
G plus you need 3 L of water divide 1
and2 lit 1 and2
liter and and if you use the East that
you collect from the previe fermentation
a jar like this you can collect only the
yeast and drink the wine or you can use
it everything because when you add in
the fermenter you add also a glass of
wine and plus is the same wine rice wine
again if you are at the first time so
you don’t have this is the you collect
from the preview fermentation you can
use Chinese East balls maybe 40 G should
be enough we should cook our rice 40
minutes so I will put the pot on the
stove minimum power and wait 40 minutes
for this one I will put the pot in the
rice cooker and wait until the cycle is
finished so see you later when the rice
is
cook after 35 minutes we can remove our
pot from the stove please keep the lead
on the PT because the PT is still hot
the rice too so we’ll
keeping
cooking we can say until will be no cold
and plus if you remove the the lead the
water inside the rice will evaporate and
you will have dry rice and will be
impossible to make the wine same story
with the rice cooker unplug the
power the
electricity and don’t open the lead wait
until you reach the room temperature so
you can do this step one day in advance
probably tonight is already late so see
you tomorrow morning to go ahead with
our uh black rice wine
they following
morning the rise and reach the room
temperature we can put in the fermentor
we add the East we close with the lead
on the top of the lead we have the
eyelock inside the eyelock any kind of
leward that you have at home vodka Rome
graa up to you now we should wait till
the fermentation start when start I will
update you see you
soon after 48 Hours the fermentation is
very active you can see from the arlock
and also from the liquid just start to
develop so I collect it and I check the
original gravity that is
1,50 if you remember the original
gravity with the glutinos rise was
1080 so this wine will
be around 5 6% of alcohol
content kind of beer so if you like you
can keep like this or if you want to
improve the aloh content you need to add
water and
sugar especially
sugar as prob probably you
imagine I was not able to resist so I
add 1 liter of water and 250 g of sugar
I check again the gravity and now the
gravity is 1,70 so we increase little
bit alcohol content to our wine now we
close with the lid I will wait until the
fermentation finish and after I will
update
you short update
after 3 weeks the fermentation is keep
going very slow but it’s going you can
notice from the bubbles inside their
eyes but also from the ey loock that is
still in pressure is not at
level after 10 days 2 weeks your
fermentation will slow
down and like now you will have one
bubble every 30 minutes or 1 hour depend
also the temperature that you have at
home so now we should wait when the IR
loock would be at level we will put our
wine in the
bottles the color like maybe you see
when I show you the ferment will be
spectacular
after 30 days the fermentation is
finished you can notice it from the
eyelock that is at level and also from
the final gravity because it’s very low
986 this means that all the sugar all
the substance that the East can
transform in alcohol now they alcohol
inside our wine if you remember after
that I had a little bit of water and
sugar the original gravity was
1,70 the final gravity is 986 the
differences is
84 divided by the coefficient 7.5 the
alcohol content at the moment is
11.2 plus I add the sugar so the final
alcohol content of my wine will be at
least
11.7% please don’t add more than 10 G
per liter in the battles we know they
will be like a
reactor why I say in theory should be
11.7 because probably is more like
somebody comment under the video the
rice wine the other video that I posted
one month ago with the glutenous rice
what I check at the beginning was not
all the sugar because what’s
happened we boil the rice the enzyme
collect all the sugar from the rice and
the yeast from the sugar make the
alcohol but what I checked at the
beginning was not all the sugar there
was inside the
rice this is why some people tell me be
careful maybe there is more alcohol now
that I was to I drink already my rice
wine I can notice even more that was
very strong so more than 10% when I done
the wine testing was 7 in the morning to
have the right light and I was in the
field many problems so I can test it but
not properly at home I can notice that
the alcohol is more strong so this is at
least the alcohol content to our wine
but probably
the alcohol is more higher if I will
find the instrument now that I will go
back in Italy I will buy it or if
somebody want to make it want to make me
a gift they can send me I will use to
check the alcohol content all my wine
beer and liquid and so
on so now for the refermentation in the
battle we should wait at least two weeks
so see you in two weeks for the wine
testing
[Music]
from the
smell you can smell that is not white
rice the same when you cook your rice at
on
but the color is really really
spectacular Let’s test
it spectacular very very very strong but
very dry little bit sparkling but I
think the probably the problem uh is not
the wine But the bottles because they
don’t close properly so very good
experiment okay guys remember to
subscribe to the channel to leave a like
it to watch and share this video with
your
friends if you have some advice some uh
recipe that you want to share with me

you can write me on Instagram on by
email this is the last video from manado
Indonesia so I want to thanks all the
madon or all the Indonesian because it’s
really a spectacular
population bye-bye

  1. It would be interesting to see how the addition of some ginger/lemon grass or even yuzu peel would add to the flavour.
    Great video as always, thank you.

  2. Caro Andrea, are you not interested in making wine from coconut sap that many traditional people, particularly in eastern part of the country, used to produce?

  3. Salve Signore Andrea, I wanted to comment for the YT algorithm and respond to your question from a previous video about what your viewers do or don't watch. I have given it some thought and for me, recipes like this with easily accessible ingredients are ones I'm likely to watch, and usually watch multiple times. If ingredients are easy to get, I'll probably try to make it myself, and if I try to make your recipe I will probably watch the video about 6+ times to make sure I follow it properly. On the other hand, I did watch your python cooking video, (which was fascinating) but I don't have access to snake meats like that. So I'll only watch a video like that once, if I watch it at all. I don't know if you can track your viewers' locations, I don't know if they're all like me, but ingredients from the regions that we're in might boost views. I hope that helps!

    Also, if you have a recipe for a dry Elderberry wine, I would love to see that. Keep up the Spec-Tac-Ular work!

  4. Another excellent video. Thank you. You say that this rice wine is very dry. Many people, this side of the Atlantic tend top prefer a sweeter wine. And as you note, if you simply add sugars to carbonate the wine, the added sugar will be fermented into Carbon Dioxide PLUS alcohol. If you are OK with a non carbonated wine, you can add sugar AFTER you stabilize the wine (chemically, with potassium sorbate AND potassium metabisulphate. These two compounds will prevent the yeast from both reproducing and fermenting the sugars you add to sweeten the wine. Always, a good idea to check how sweet you want any wine. The amount of acidity, the level of alcohol, the richness of flavor, and the viscosity you prefer, all influence the amount of sugar you may want to add, but you might consider adding about 4 oz for every gallon of wine (100 g/ 4 L). This will tend to raise the specific gravity by about 10 points (1.010). Adding more sugar will increase that final gravity and adding less will not increase it as much.

  5. This reminds about the Korean rice wine I made, it's a very milky looking liquid and is extremely active, it will continue to ferment long after it has been bottled so it becomes very strong and there is nothing but rice and the fermented weet that the Koreans use. 😅

  6. Andrea , it's been a while since you've made a cured meat video….could you do a La Signora di Conca Casale salami from Molise please?
    I've had a hard time finding a recipe.
    Thanks.

  7. We have rice wine here in Thailand 🇹🇭 and it's 40% Can you make a 40% rice wine ? ❤ your wine making. I'm going to make mango or banana wine from your recipes thanks

  8. Sir if we use wild yeast in our wine for fermentation and after when our fermentation will complete and then we collect our wine to another jar and after that what should dwe do with the yeast

  9. Peopke call it rice wine but in theory it's a beer! Wine is made from fruit juice while beer is made from cereals and so far I know, rice is a cereal… Thank you for sharing your recipes…

  10. Any chance to see your take on the Salsiccia di Bra recipe? Or is it too risky because of the climate you live in? I think it will pair nicely with one of your strongest drinks. 😉

  11. Thanks Chef. I have made excellent (raw ) Rice wines following your videos and getting an average of 14 to 15% ABV.
    I have a few questions:
    Can't I follow the same earlier recipes of yours with Black Rice ? I mean without cooking the black rice? Somehow I don't enjoy the wines made out of cooked rice. Thanks.
