I have found that Craftbrewer DO actually post up to a couple of kilos. Just chuck them on your order and see what happens

Just picked up three kilos from The Brewshop Peakhurst .

I luve them bung them in everything saves time stuffing around waiting for the wort I value my time

Is about 500grams of rice hulls the norm amount for a 20 litre brew? Yeah the drive to peakhurst from gosford is a bit far just for rice hulls.Tho i might get some grain/yeast/hops carted up to work (pymble) anyhow i think

Edit: Clarification

check with your pet stores that have stock feed for horses chickens etc. they should stock them. I went through a distributors list to their stockist.
E
astern Distributors does supple some parts of NSW. link . if gosford is near any of those places you could call those retail stockists and they should have rice hulls.

Reviving an old thread here but just wondering if the pet store style supplies of rice hulls are ok to use or is there a "human consumption" grade I should be using?

 

[TidalPete]

They are, after all, only the separated hulls of rice, so rice gulls are rice gulls are rice gulls, ad infinitum & whatever small particles get through to the kettle are going to get boiled to buggery anyway so no worries there.
A quick squiz here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice should set your mind at rest.

Thanks Pete, just wanted to make sure there wasn't some sort of anti mould something or anti lice something when used as animal bedding.

Worst case scenario, the rice would have been fumigated with phosphine gas in the silo. Not an issue. Any residues (won't be any) vent off above about 50 odd degrees C anyway.

Not worth worrying about. I just give them a thorough wash in hot water in a kitchen strainer before mixing into the mash.
