I do yeast starters with Dry Yeast, but use 1/4 tsp of dry yeast into 1 litre wort, that way my packet of yeast lasts a long time. Just reseal the packet with tape. Been doing it for years.

Any updates from brewers who have made and drunk this recipe?

Yes you can leave it in the FV for a month if the temps are low. Coopers Euro Lager uses a true lager yeast. For best results ferment under 10 C. Can you put the FV into a fridge?

Any one got a final recipe for this one. Would like to brew it. Which is best the one to brew. With 1# or 2# of Flaked Rice? Does flaked corn(maize) also work with this? Thanks

Hi Schlenkerla Actually I made a mistake. It was 10 weeks not 6 weeks that is got better. Just has another one tonite with a Red Curry. It's getting better I may have to plan another brew before I empty the keg. May be next time triple hop to see if makes a difference. Candy floss was...

If anyone is interest in seeing one do an triple decoction then see A very good video about the decoction method.

Also some people cook the rice then blend it and add to the mash. Have you tried that?

So the rice grains or sticky mess does not go into the mash then?

Hi BigEd Your right. I came across a recipe that was 4 lbs 2 row malt and 4 lbs rice hulls. That's 50 % of the grain bill. I think I do not need the rice anyway. I've got plenty in it to get to 4% ABV. Thanks

Hi Gildog I have been asking about mashing rice and also planning on doing my first PM. see https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/how-much-rice-can-i-mash-1-5kg-base-119648/ Can you tell me your grain bill. What % of rice to base malt that you used. If you got time can you publish your...

Hi BigEd, point taken about the fizzy yellow beer. Could drop the rice all together. Go all malt. However your comment about the rice been 18% of the total bill, is not the issue. The conversion by the base malt on the rice is the issue and is not 18% of the total grain count. You have...

Why am I wanting to use whole rice in the mash. Cant get rice syrup here in New Zealand.

This is a partial mash. 1.7 kg of malt extract syrup 1.5 kg base malt for PM ??? kg whole rice Stovetop PM 5 litres mash water 5 litres sparge water volume 19 litres (5 gal US) around 4 to 5 ABV is OK Will it work?

It's New Zealand Pale Malt, I assume it's 2 row. Asking as I've read from differing sources, some say use between 5-10% and others say 20%. If I mash at the low temp (152F) and longer would the conversion for rice improve or is it the limit of enzymes in the base malt that matters?

Planning on doing my first PM. Question. How much whole rice could I mash with 1.5 kg base pale malt (2row). Doing a light lager so would like to add rice as much as possble. Thanks

Thanks for those who replied. This site has a good guide on amounts for bulk priming. Essential Guide to Bulk Priming

Yes the dextrose I have is very fine. Much finer than household sugar.

It is recommended to use 3/4 of cup to prime 5gal US of beer. I also read that 8g per litre is also the recommend primimg rate. 8g by 19 litres is 152 grams. When I weight out 152 grams of dextrose that came to 1.5 cups(UK)? That's twice the recommend 3/4 cup! If I use the 8g per litre...
