This is a great way to make rejuvelac or leaven, etc., which are indispensable for macrobiotic and other types of "raw" or "living" cooking.

The rice will germinate well at more than 20°C, so keep it warm.
Make sure the water does not turn bad, change it frequently.
Even at low temperatures, if you wait a while the rice will germinate, so keep the container in an insulated styrofoam box or something and you can sprout the rice even in winter. Recipe by Mille=miru

Steps

1

You can use tap water to rinse the rice well. Drain. Put the brown rice in a clean container, and add enough bottled water to cover. Don't cover with a lid.
2

Cover with a kitchen towel or a piece of gauze, and secure with an elastic band. Leave it in a warm place. Every 8 to 12 hours, rinse the rice quickly and change the water every 1 to 3 days.

I used a yogurt maker set to the lowest temperature setting. I rinsed the rice 12 hours in and changed the water. The rice sprouted in about 24 hours.
4

I also tried putting the rinsed brown rice in a thermos with 40 °C lukewarm wter. I rinsed the rice and changed the water after 8 to 12 hours. The rice sprouted in 24 to 32 hours.
5

I also tried my bread machine's "natural yeast fermentation" setting, using the same procedure as for the thermos. The rice sprouted in 32 to 48 hours.
6

I sprout 2 to 3 rice cooker cups of rice (360 to 540 ml) and turn it into rejuvelac or leaven.
7

Not all the rice grains will germinate. If about 80% of them have sprouted, it's good.

Addendum: If the rice sprouts too much the flavor will get worse, so if the tiny tip of the sprout pokes out of the grain, it's done.
