Fermenting sweet/glutinous rice following a recipe for 찹쌀 동동주 (sweet rice dongdongju).
Last year, I bought S. a Korean book on brewing traditional types of 술 (liquor). 찹쌀 동동주 is the simplest recipe in the book.
S. sterilized the 항아리 (earthenware pot), parboiled 찹쌀, and boiled the water, but then he had to start packing so I finished up by mixing the rice with 누륵 (yeast powder).
After only one day, I can already smell the alcohol fumes as soon as I open the pot… I’m also worried that there’s too much rice.

While I'm sharing photos of fermentation experiments, here are the dill cucumber pickles we made yesterday at a pickling workshop.
