Notes:
Cannot determine efficiency since cannot tell what wild rice adds to gravity.
INFECTION!  Probably lacto.  Have to drink it fast so hopefully won't change taste too much.
Tastes pretty bad so far but opened one up way too early (9/4/13).  Going to give it till 9/15 to see if carbonation changes anything.
Lacto made it undrinkable.  Tossed batch.
