Soaking rice & grains

[miachris]

I have what looks to be an awesome recipe for a wild rice salad that says to soak, not sprout, the wild rice for 4 days. My questions are:

Do I change the water at all?
Do I leave the rice to soak in or out of the refridgerator?

Thanx a bunch :)

I would leave it on the shelf, but change the water every day so that it doesn't ferment.
