So, quick question. With the mill grains getting crushed so fine, whats the easiest way to prevent stuck sparge? rice hulls?
Ricemaltster and Jay: Thank you.
I've read this entire thread and I'm very interested in brewing the pale ale with the grain bill detailing 18#s pale rice plus adjuncts.
In the brew schedule it states the mash temp as 152F, but later on in the thread you mention that you do a decoction mash with steps that is labor intensive. You state that the cerealization temp is around 150F for this rice.
Questions: What is your mash schedule? Do you do a cereal mash?
Has anyone on the thread successfully brewed this recipe? Can you share your results and tips? thanks!
My experience with these malts is still limited, but I think they are very promising.
I have made 2 batches with this rice malt, in both I have used only specialty (roasted) malts, and have been using adjuncts for the base fermentables ( this excessive use of adjuncts is causing diacetyl issues, but I do not think this has anything to do with the rice malt).
I have used the biscut rice, crystal rice, and james brown rice, and am impressed with the flavors coming frm them. Complex and malty in a way that home toasted GF grains are not.
If you cant mash a huge grain bill, you might do a partial mash. Do a mini mash with 4 or 6 pounds of rice malt (dont be afraid to add enzymes to make the mash protocol easier), and use some rice syrup to bump up the gravity.
I think this is what I will do for my next experiment.
Leave it to fellow homebrewers to ask the hard questions. I have not had the extracts tested at this point. I guess this will move up the priority list. I have been working toward getting my beers out the door lately.
My malt products are naturally malted and therefore will probably not have exactly the same composition as the brown rice syrups that I believe are all chemically converted. I am still working on building the system to produce malted rice syrup. Hopefully, this will be available in the near future. This has taken more time to achieve than I initially estimated.
I just went to the norcal brewing soloutions website to order more biscut and crystal rice... and it says they are both out of stock.
I hope they are out of stock because they are selling so well.
Jaybird, will you be restocking these items in the future?
Also, do you have plans to stock brown rice syrup (not rice syrup solids)?...its good stuff.
Some good amylase (termamyl and AMG300 or similar) woukd be another great addition for the GF folks.
thank you for catering to us!
Jaybird,
Your website says the unmilled rice malt is unavalable, it is not possible to check out with this in my cart.
So, anybody had a chance to play around with this stuff yet? I finally have the ability to mash more than a few pounds of grain so I'm seriously considering trying a small batch with this stuff.
Jay, your Gluten Free page appears to be down, and I can't seem to find any similar page on your site. Any ideas?
It's now in with the rest of the malts. Go to "Other Grains" and then rice. However, most of it is sold out and I can't seem to order the stuff I want. Really wanted more of that Gas Hog. Made a great stout last time.
Are you able to post your stout recipe and step-by-step instructions of your process since it turned out great?Really wanted more of that Gas Hog. Made a great stout last time.
