Curious now... Rice hull tea tastes bad. Point taken.

Is it the same when using it in the mash, at lower pH and lower temps*. Would any of this made a difference?

I think most of the times I've used rice hulls has been with rye, usually in hoppier and/or darker beers. Nothing very light where the flavour impact would be noticeable.

*assumption is that you made it like "tea" tea.

Australia has followed the lead of some of the European nations along with USA and Canada in heat sterilizing the rice hulls for poultry shed litter, but it still doesn't hurt to give it a good wash, like some people have found out buying bagged pre washed lettuce.

In a past life I used to cart it from Leeton to Portland for making stock feed pellets.

Worst crap I ever loaded and carted in my life.

Now way back then; The Rice Mill ran a fleet of yellow Kenworths.(I used to go up the back of the farm onto the channel bank and wave trying to get them to blow their horn as they drove along the Griffith road......true story)

We used to get truck loads full of orange skins from the Quelch factory (look it up ,,,its a fruit juice ) as well and mixed them with the rice hulls.

Cut my teeth on a Massey Ferguson 65 with bucket pushing a mix of orange skins and rice hulls...


Never realised that rice hulls would be good for sparging

Never realised that orange skins can be used in beer
