How do you calculate the inclusion of long grain rice in a recipe when designing a beer with this adjunct? Is there a similar weight for weight equality between grain & gelatinised rice for all practical accounts and purposes? Considering doing a few micro mashes this weekend to determine how many gravity points rice brings to a beer, but if the data is already out there it will save me the time of doing so. Another consideration, whether valid or not, is the ratio of grain/rice in order for the enzymatic conversion to occur. In a pro-rata measurement, would a weight of rice in a 70/30 ratio perform similar to a ratio of 50/50, or does more grain equal greater conversion of the adjunct into usable, fermentable sugars?
