• 12.5 lbs Golden Promise

• 2.625 lb White Wheat Malt

• 2.0 lbs Rahr 2-row

• 1.5 lbs Flaked Rye

• 0.75 lb English black Malt

• 0.5 lb Crystal Rye

• 0.5 lb Baird’s Light Carastan

• 3 oz Toasted Pecans

• 0.75 lb English Roasted Barley
 
Rice Hulls are an inert ingredient. Never can hurt anything. Given the rye and the wheat may not be a bad idea. Just make sure they are mixed in throughout to help create a grain bed. People use anywhere from 1/2-1 lb for a 5 gallon batch.
 
Likely not necessary. It wont hurt if you do. I usually only use them in 60%+ wheat/rye beers. About a 1/3 to 1/2 lb per 5 gallon batch of 1.050 beer. Then again my sysytem isnt prone to stuck sparges. ymmv.
