Flaked rice vs boiled rice

[Andrewbarnes83]

Hi people.

I want to brew a light lager using rice but my recipe calls for flaked rice and I can't seem to find it. Does any one know how much boiled rice you would substitute for 0.8 kg of flaked rice?

Craftbrewer has flaked rice

Go with the same weight of rice and it will need to be gelatinised.

I am assuming you are brewing all grain as you will need a bit of base grain for conversion.

Without traulng through all the information here is a link to a search on this forum for using rice in a beer.

Lots of info in a few topics.....good reading in most threads.

Most Indian/Asian groceries will have flaked rice. Nothing in Townsville??

A possible alternative is rice extract that I've seen at Coles, basically LME made with rice. It runs about 80% solilds, so you'd probably use slightly less.
