I am also wondering about the rice hulls. I have heard that if you do a nice protein rest at 117-122 that it makes a perfectly workable mash, but i dont know if i believe it either.

I don't use rice hulls in this beer, I simply don't need them. I mash this beer ~152F for 60 min.
But I guess the need (or lack of it) for rice hulls may depend on the shape of your MLT and the type of your lauter filter. I use a rectangular Coleman cooler for an MLT and a manifold filter made out of CPCV pipe.
