I was looking for the Rogues ones exactly, but they are too expensive to buy for the bottle. I did find Pacifico that comes in 6 packs of 7oz brown bottles at my local Target for $7.50. That seems like the best option. So, I will be drinking Mexican for a little while...

ttt. I am looking as well.

Thanks guys.

I am in a dilemma. I have been lagering a very light beer for a couple months now and am ready to bottle (I must bottle this beer). I used a clarifier, so most of the yeast will not be transferred to my bottling bucket and I do not think there is enough to carbonate the beer in a decent amount...

Sounds like a good idea!

What would happen if you took the grain bill to an imperial stout (for example) and doubles it, keeping everything else the same? Assuming you use a yeast that could handle the alcohol content, what would the beer taste like? I have always wondered this and figured some of you may be able to...

Not a problem! I will probably go the flaked rice or syrup route, but I wanted to know just in case I couldn't get me hands on them tonight or if I was up to the challenge. Thanks again for your time!

Getting time to brew and I want to clarify in case this is the route I go. While all but 2 pounds of the two-row is resting in 120 degree water, add milled rice to 5 gallons of boiling water in a separate pot. Stir, turn off heat, and lower temp to 150. Add 2 pounds of two-row in a grain...

What about with rice flakes or rice syrup solids?

A few questions on this: I have always seen closer to 12 IBU, is this right? As in grocery store rice? Can anyone share references to double mash brewing? I am confused as it sounds like you are boiling the 2-row.

Great! Thanks again for the info! I will report back and let you know how it goes.

Yes, just 5 gallons right now. But I done mind scaling a big batch down.

Thanks for the details! Good to know someone else has tried this. Are 3 lbs of rice syrup solids the equivalent of DME in regards to converting from grain? If so, this would make it about 5lb rice flake if I prefer to use that, right? It seems about right to hit 33% rice. Have you tried...

Yes, I am very encouraged by the positive responses. Once more question: Since I have never used rice before, I do not know the differences in what you buy. Whey you say 4 lbs rice, are you referring to that much flaked rice or rice syrup?

Great responses! It looks like "not" was left off my OP when regarding extract, so good news. I will certainly use an all grain recipe. Should I take any other steps to clarify the beer (Irish moss, gelatin, etc)? Thanks for the help!!
