Hi,
I am going to try brewing my first all-grain Japanese style lager, BIAB style. While reading the recipe, a few questions come to mind.
Firstly, what do you use to grind the rice? and how finely should it be ground? Any tips in using rice in beers?
Do I just add the soft ground boiled rice pulp to my mash bag at the same time as adding the cracked grain?
Secondly, the recipe is written for traditional all grain brewing and there is mention of using rice hulls in the mash. My understanding is that rice hulls were present to aid the mashing process rather than being an ingredient in the recipe. Since the mashing process is different in the BIAB style, are the rice hulls still necessary or recommended?
