Does anyone have a good or traditional sake recipe, and know anything about yeast purchased in blocks, which can ferment to high abv's.

"Uh I don't think you want a traditional one. It requires the saliva of several persons to induce the bacteria into the prepped and temp controlled rice.

Here are a couple modern ones with Koji spores.

You must learn about which types of rice to use. We have a Japanese food store close and they were not sure which one either, so you need to study up"

"Thanks brew,
I met a guy from Nepal who mentioned his mom would make sake for new years. I thought it would be fun to put a batch together. I asked him to contact his mom and get the family recipe. If it takes saliva, hey, i'll try anything once."

Yes I will post that recipe. I spoke to him today and he informed me a relative of his found a good patch of yeast (in patty form) in NY. I was told one could recieve a good or bad batch of yeast, with no way of knowing at time of purchase.
