Ive previously added rice to the mash.... just boiled and added the mush to the grains. Couple of questions:
1. Do you do the same with polenta ie. its already ground up, or is it important to boil first to improve conversion?
2. What adjustments (if any) do you have to do in the mash tun to get the right water to grain ration. I use around 2.5 litre H20 to 1 kg grain?
What Ive done with the rice is throw it in the hot water in the tun and wait for it to drop to the right temp (approx 73 C) prior to adding the crushed grains. Wasnt sure whether thats the right process given the rice & polenta would add more bulk and may continue to absorb water and throw the ratio out..... or maybe it isnt that critical
Value some advice
