Anybody have a Great Divide Samurai clone? Can't seem to find one anywhere, and have never used rice with the exception of hulls. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

I've seen rice syrup solids at the LHBS. That would be the easiest way to get rice in there. Do a search of the forums for using uncle ben's instant rice in the mash.
Great Divide is pretty secretive about their recipes. I've asked for a couple recipes from a few different employees and have gotten stonewalled. With an adjunct like rice, I would use 5-20%. If using rice syrup, add to the boil. If using instant rice I'd add 1/2-1lbs of rice hulls for the sparge.
If I had to guess, I'd say probably 85% base grain, 10-5% rice, 0-5% specialty grain. Maybe Carapils. Or do a higher mash temp, maybe 154? Their beers seem to me to have a lot of body. I would hop with a similar BU:GU ratio as a wheat, so .33-ish. 15-20 IBUs
