Flaked Rice

[Archie]

Gday everyone,

Grain Bill:
80% Pilsner Malt
10% Flaked Rice
7.5% Vienna
2.5% Carapills

No colour grain aditions here - This beer is impressively light

Hoping:
25 IBU's of a good noble hop
+ 2 plugs of Saaz 5 minutes from end of boil

Mash temp to achieve a dry finish FG ~ 1.008
Adjust pH of mash water to <5.5

Use a good Czech Pills yeast - Maybe WLP800 (its flavours are good but need a longer lagering IMO than the WY alternative)...

Aim for an OG of ~ 1.052. the extra % Alc makes it stella!

Asher for now

Can anyone Help me with this recipe wouldnt mind giving it a bash.
The problem is I dont know what Flaked rice is any help.

Cheers Archie

Rice Bubbles mate grab a 500g box of them and then boil in water for 10 mins and strain off into your wort.

WTF? Rice Bubbles contain salt. Do it at your peril. :blink:

BTW Archie

Flaked rice is readily available at Health Food stores or a lot of Asian Grocers under various entities.

Good luck with it.

Go to Coles or Woolies and look in the Hippy isle(ie Health foods)
Lowan make it BRIGHT yellow packets....

They also do...
Barley
Wheat
Rye

The upside of flaked grains is that you just add them along with the normal mash, nothing fancy!!

Coles used to have Billingtons sugars too..now only seen them in David Jones

 

[Asher]

The flaked rice from coles is good, but I've started using "powa rice"
I get it from a smallgoods market nearby... Swansea St markets EVP

Just made a Kirin rice lager with 20% powa.... Its tasty

G'day Linz,
Do you run the flakes through your mill or dump straight into the mashtun? I'm of course assuming that the flakes are already gelatinised / pre-cooked. I recently did an oatmeal stout and ran the health food store flaked oats through the mill before mash-in and I felt that the end result was better for doing so...They're a PITA to put through the mill since they're very lightweight so I pushed them through with some base malt!

Cheers,
TL

 

[Peter Wadey]

Yes Warren, WTF!

For Drew,
From the Kelloggs site. Rice Bubbles ingredients.

INGREDIENTS: Whole white rice (89%), sugar, salt, barley malt extract, vitamins (vitamin C, niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, folate), minerals (iron, zinc oxide).
Contains gluten containing cereals.
May contain traces of peanuts and/or tree nuts.


Hi TL,
I weight out by grain/ adjuncts and chuck it into a bucket as I go.
I then shove the arm in and mix the grist before milling.
Disperses things like wheat malt, flakes and acid malt throughout.
Just a suggestion for next time.

Rgds,
Pete

Cheers Pete - works for me too! When I first thought of cracking the oat flakes, I'd already done the base malt in a separate container and when I tipped the oat flakes into the hopper they just sat there. In future I now chuck the lot in one bucket and handraulically mix too!

[Linz]

Im just too slow....

I do the same ..weigh out in one bucket, mix and crush...all done.

I read this as a joke (although no smiley). If it's not I'd have to say "WTF" as well. In any case, pretty poor form when someone has put their hand up for legitimate advice.

 

[Mr Bond]

I used the Lowans product in my "Brunette Ale" after searching and PM 'ing Asher(guru) for advice.

Added it to the mash without too much fuss,although the sparge was a little slower and kept threatining to stick.

Ignore DC82's advice, it is spurious and unfounded.

Good luck with the recipe

Just about all health food shops seel most types of flaked grains I get my flaked rice from them. I usually just thrown and stir them into the mash, but after reading the advice from Asher TL and Peter Wadey I might throw mine in the mill too.
As Brauluver states above, DO NOT USE rice bubbles, they contain too many other additives and I would doubt if they would contribute much in the way of desired fermentables. What next CORN FLAKES instead of flaked corn h34r: .
Good luck with the brew, looks like it will turn out great.
