please note the efficiency! mine is terrible(this was typical for my system), and if you want to try this you will want to adjust for your typical efficiency.
2 lbs of rice hulls was probably a bit more than i needed, 16-24oz would probably work, depending on your system.
the protein rest is strongly recommended, but i've made this before without it.


this beer was intended as a funky experiment, but ended up tasting really good. it is a bit thick. It thins out a little trough conditioning, and I carbed it pretty high (2.3 volumes) to accomodate for this.

this is still sort of a work in progress, but it's good enough to post the recipe.
