i want to add rice to an upcoming brew of mine... my LHBS sells flaked rice and i know this is the most convenient choice, but i have a very large bag of brown rice for cooking with and i'm wondering if i can't just use that, and most importantly if just cooking it normally is enough to...

hi all, i'm making a lot of hoppy/hazy beers lately and after having had many of them oxidize on me i've started taking great pains to limit the amount of exposure to the air after fermentation is complete or mostly so. that includes doing closed transfers from my carboys to purged kegs with...
