Has anybody ever used Minute Rice (or other instant rice) in their brew? I have heard of using it in place of flaked rice, but can't find any details.

Works fine. I've used it as an adjunct in a few lagers and had fine results. Just cook to package instructions- sans any butter or salt- and add to mash. At least this is what I do. The minute rice may be fine just adding to your mash, but I've never done it this way.
I have always added minute rice directly to the mash. It gelatinizes quickly. I would recommend some rice hulls in the mash.

Sounds good. And logical as minute rice is already cooked. Hulls are a plus!

How does it compare with using flaked rice? Flaked rice just instantly dissolves when it hits the hot mash water.
I'm working on an 8 gallon batch of light ale. Say 5lbs of 2-row, 5lbs of pils, 2lbs of flaked rice and a pound of minute rice (actually, 14oz. I just checked and the generic comes in 14oz boxes). I have some rice hulls to help with the sparge.
