if I only hv 2 pcs of chaoban, do i need to buy 1kg
of rice? can i use any pot to fement it? what happen to the rice after we’ve gotten the wine? throw away or can be eaten?
rgds.

Hi Rina, it is ok to make with 1kg or less rice. The chaoban only produce the thickness of wine taste. It actually depends on what taste you prefer. Ceramic pot is the best as I am not sure if other pot suitable to keep wine. I would just throw away the leftover rice, not sure how it taste. :p

Do i have to use Chinese chao ban or can I use brewer’s yeast for beer or wine from a western store?

Hi Kim, I am using Chinese chao ban only and haven’t try the brewer’s yeast from western store before. Not sure about the result.

Hi - thanks for your recipe.

May I ask…What is this wine called? If no way to make your own wine, what other wine can you use? Can use Hsiao Hsing Jiew or not (can find this easily in most chinese shops)? If not, what other types of wine / alcohol do you recommend? Not many varieties in Australia la.

Thanks very much again.

Hi Lizzie,

hmm..don’t think Hsiao Hsing Jiew could provide the same taste lor…But Cninese Ginger Wine sure can. this recipe is yummy to cook with Chinese Ginger Wine that selling at many chinese shops too. But not sure is it selling at Australia or not..
