Something odd...

So I noticed an interesting development last night. More precisely, I noticed a pattern that was verified last night.

When I stir the sake, a layer of foamy rice forms at the top of the batch within a few hours. When I just swirl it by swirling the entire jug (it's only a 1 gallon jug), none of that stuff floats to the surface. My next one will consist of two identical batches, one will be stirred and one will be swirled. I am really curious if that affects anything.


We are now 8 days in and the stuff is developing a really great sake aroma. I can't wait to start sampling it.
