Tips:

In the past, when I used glutinous rice to make rice wine, it was usually sealed and fermented for 3 days.

This time, when I made rice, the same proportion of ingredients was used, and when I fermented for three days, I opened the lid and observed that there was not enough alcohol, so I sealed and kept it warm for two more days.

Analyze the reasons: it may be the difference between different ingredients; It could also be the cause of the temperature.
