Makgeolli (Korean rice liquor: 막걸리)

After you bottle it, do you have to keep it in the fridge? Or is it good on the shelf, & for how long (about)? Thanks!

Yes, keep it in the fridge up to 2 weeks.

Thank you for your time, I am over 70 years young in Phoenix, Arizona USA and my 1st attempt to make Makgeolli in my 5L Onggi did not come out as I expected. The kitchen was around 81*F and after about 5 weeks when I went to fill my swing top 500ml bottles I wound up with the best tasting "Rice Wine Vinegar" I ever had. So I am using it for my vinegar for now. I made 5 and 1/2 bottles of it and I am down to one now.

[@thomawesome]

One recommendation for fermenting alcoholic beverages - you can buy brewing yeast as opposed to baking yeast for a cleaner, dryer flavor.

[@thomawesome]

and more alcohol, too!

[@chrsprkr]

I absolutely use brewer's yeast when I make makgeolli. I like both Lalvin EC-1118 and Lalvin K1-V1116 because they're stronger against foreign bacteria and will give you 16-18% before you dilute. If you want, you don't have to dilute and can wait until the sediment falls and then rack it - giving you cheongju... that'll REALLY get the party going.

[@my_chabooty_craves6547]

Christopher Parker if you don't have earthware pot, what can be used for fermentation process? IDK where to get a large enough pot, all the ones I find are small.

[@chrsprkr]

You can brew in a glass jar with a wide mouth or you can pick up a primary fermentation container (they look like buckets.) I bought the jar in the link below and used a cheesecloth to allow the CO2 to leave the jar. The jar is big enough to make a lot of makgeolli and wide enough to allow you to mix with your hands. I do recommend painting the outside to keep the yeast in the dark, OR you can keep it in a dark closet, but it might make your clothes smell like makgeolli ;) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000M9NMJA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@NeKoMaNiAcGiRl04o]

I am from Romania and the only yeast that I can find it available for fermentation is the regular one used for coocking and the one used for the regular wine that we all know it. Do you think it may be a good idea to use either one of them? Thanks

I love your charisma and smile. I have watched maybe 15 different vieo on Rice Wine making and YOURS I have watched maybe 5 times. One reason is I am impressed with how little waste you have. The rice break down is better than any other methords. I have made Four attempts so far. I think it is that using the dehydrater for the rice which makes no sense if you soften and cook it first. I couldn't use 1 1/2 cups of Nuruk because it was so hard to find anywhere but on line. I got 10 ounces and used 1/2 for this last batch and the rest for my next batch. I want to see what flavor it will bring. Before I used yeast balls and regular Wine making yeast. I'll know in a week. I can't go out and buy a dehydrater but that won't stop me from my quest to make a Better Rice Wine with less left over rice waste. Thanks! Your video on 'Honey Butter is next on my 'TRY List.

Maangchi, I made your makgeolli while home for all the stuff going on! So easy and so good! My fermentation was still going pretty strong yesterday, but it seems to finally slow down overnight. It's day nine now, so I went ahead and strained and bottled it. Thanks for sharing your great recipes!

Exciting! Congratulations!

[@jonathsk]

Wow 9 days? Is there a reason you went to 9 days before bottling? ? Was your intent to increase/maximize alcohol content? Did it work?

[@navytav]

I was just following the recipe, but yes the idea is to maximize the alcohol, add water to bring it down to a reasonable level while increasing volume and backsweeten to add a little more sweetness and a little carbonation in the bottle

[@jonathsk]

[@Maangchi]

: ) My recipe is made from my experience over the years. The traditional way to make makgeolli is with steamed rice, and then after steaming the rice you can cool it down like you did and make makgeolli with it. But in this recipe I was making makgeolli an easier way and instead of steaming, i made rice in a rice cooker, but I needed to dry it out. Without drying it out the alcohol level in the makgeolli is too low.

Thank you for making this amazing cuisine that had been shrouded in mystery (along with the myriad of unique ingredients) so accessible. H-Mart is like a treasure trove to me now! This makkolli recipe is spot on and the longer you brew it, the more alcohol you’re going to get (up to around 9% ABV; Maangchi’s would be closer to 6%, I think). I always get great vibes from watching Maangchi videos, so I tend to watch several in a row. Maangchi is definitely one of the reasons I opted for KZbin Red.

WOW! I just realized why grandma's traditional method of partially drying the rice is so important. It removes a lot of the water so that the water doesn't dilute the alcohol of the final product!! That is why your method's final HIGHEST alcohol content will kick your butt!! :)) You have to leave some water in the sticky inner part of the rice for the microbes to live and grow, but then the final product is pure alcohol and not diluted. I feel your grandma standing there right behind you with a big grin on her face. Hugs to you both for sharing your WISE ancient knowledge and traditional methods with.

I can envision a US soldier during the Korean War being given this beverage to drink, not knowing what it was he was about to drink, and after taking his first swallow saying something like, "My Golly'. And if you compare that phrase to Makgeolli, they certainly have similar phonetics.

+lwblack64 I drank it when I was stationed there 86-87, and my father fought there in the war in 51-52.... He remembers this swill as well, as locals would bring it to our GIs as a treat.... It was a great comfort

Maangchi you have such a lovely and welcoming soul! I can not wait to try this soon! I'm waiting for your book to arrive! Let us know if your ever in London so I can give you a big hug! Lots of love X

[@theaerika6574]

Is this like the alcohol you usually see on korean historical dramas? Because the ones I've seen from the dramas I've watched are also usually white..

[@alexl0890]

Probably!

[@boredwhite3886]

Yeah it is

Hi! How are you? Are you interested in painting and painting fishes?

[@tad030]

just started my first batch yesterday. i am so excited!!

[@Dairon1869]

This recipe looks so cool! I've never made alcohol at home but I may try it now. I'll take a look for the ingredients at my local Korean market. On a side note, I just received your newly released cookbook! It is AMAZING!!!!!! I was blown away. It's even better than I had expected! You did an incredible job! I'm going to recommend it to all of my friends and family. Congratulations and keep up the excellent work. I'm so appreciative that I have learned about Korean culture and food through you, your book, and your channel

Ever since you posted that picture, I was eagerly waiting to make this. Now I just need to make sure the market has the enzyme starter. First time drinking makgeolli and its gonna be homemade...hopefully. Can't believe I'm early for the video.

Hey maangchi I love ur video they changed my life thanks I was wondering is it optional to add the water to dilute the alcohol ?? Or i can use it as is ???

[@Maangchi]

Yeah if you don't add water, the alcohol degree will go up (about 15 %) which means you will get drunk faster. : )

[@raggie7056]

haha great thanks
