Cereal mashing rice
Has anyone done a rice cereal mash? I want to lighten up a summer lager and generally have done this before but would like to see if anyone else has any tips or info as to the way they do it.
In a blender grind up a cup of rice at a time to the consistency of cream of wheat.
Procedure:
Strike the main mash to obtain 122 F. Let mash rest.
Rice Cereal
STIR rice mixture the whole time!!! It will burn if not stirred.
In another pot heat rice and water to 158 F to gelatinize the starches. Cool and add 1 LB 6 row crushed grains at 155 F. stir stir stir 20 minutes. This will break down the starch chains and make the cereal loose. Heat to boiling and add to main mash to bring it up to 148 F. Stir well. Let this mash sit 60 to 90 minutes. Sparge to obtain preboil volume. TIP: Use an infusion calculator to figure the volume of boiling rice to add to hit 148 F. Cool the rest of the rice to 148 F and add it to the mash tun. Stir well.
Proceed as normal with your boil and hops.
