Rice Hull Question

[Col_klink]

Quick question, when you use rice hulls (say when brewing a wheat beer). Do you just mix them in with the grain bill and dump in the MLT with the rest of the grain when you dough in? Or do you keep them seperate and put them in the MLT first before doughing-in?

Thanks in advance

Think about it.

If you carefully lay in the rice hulls, then add water and grain a stir to break up the dough balls, the hulls will be mixed in, too.

Just don't run the hulls through your grain mill with the crush.

Ive never heard of of milling rice hulls. I thought the point of them is to just be used as a filter so why would you crush them? Im not trying to argue but I was taught to just put them in with your grains at doe in and mix them in.

That's right. I assumed iamw58 was merely being unambiguous and stating explicitly what might seem like common sense for more experienced brewers, but could be an honest mistake for a new brewer.

I love rice hulls with wheat and flakes. A stuck sparge is a no fun event.
