Oh dear....

Suggestion:

55lbs of _jasmine_ rice. Large pot- 2 waters, one rice. Bring water to boil,
add rice, bring to second boil, cover, turn off fire, or move someplace warm
and forget. Ignore for an hour or so. Start second batch. Do something else
until first batch has finished, and then add the sweet vinegar, etc,
stirring until cool. Place in other container, and restart your 3rd batch in
the first pot. Finish second batch, and restart 4th batch. Continue until
done.

I've only done 15 cups at a time, but there's no reason 20 wouldn't work.
Much easier than trying to do 4 c at a time, and should only take you a long
afternoon.

 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
