I work with a Korean who I try to educate about beer. He mentioned to me rice wine in Korea and it sounds intriguing.
google was at a loss with MukGulli. found makgeolli though. I would start with looking up how Saki is made, the process of extracting the sugars from unmalted rice and wheat involves a fungal product that can be found at many HBS or online.
I’m intrigued. keep this thread up todate with what happens with this project!
Makgeoli, or Mukgulli, or whatever you want to call it is a rice beer. Its really not like sake at all, more like some wierd, slightly sour, fermented rice water. I found a korean website for making Makgeoli, and here is the google translate for it. Give me a few days, and I will give you a better translation that you can understand.
