Rice Hulls in Bru'n Water?

[smyrnaquince]

Do I need to list rice hulls on the Mash Acidification sheet of Bru'n Water?

If so, how do I categorize them? My best guess is as a Crystal Malt with a color of zero (0).

Thanks!

No

Rice hulls don't affect the mash pH so you don't need to list them in Bru'n Water.

Do flaked oats go in as a base malt? Color = 1L?

As I don't put them in until I transfer mash to the lauter tun it is immaterial. If you put them in with the other grains they are still going to be, by weight, a pretty small fraction of the total and as such not significant.

I've not measured them but assuming they're more or less like flaked barley they would have a DI msh pH of about 5.6 and buffring of abut -38 mEq/kg•pH i.e. similar to some pale ale and Pilsner malts.
