15 days later, I decided to pull out the liquid in my brew. Results - not too dry, not too bitter, the return of alcoholic goodness is slightly less tha water used to cook a kilo of rice. I got this much in a 1 gallon jug plus 2/3 of my coffee cup full. Coffee cup now emptyFirst try. 2 kg of Thai sweet rice took about 4 liters to cook in 6 batches, added 6 balls. 46 hours in and see lots of potential based on liquid at bottom of container.
