I am making an all grain Pumpkin this weekend and a friend of mine suggested using rice hulls to prevent a stuck sparge. I get the reasoning behind this as it will help prevent clumping. I have also read that I should use 8 oz per pound of grains! That seems like a lot of added "stuff" that does not add flavor or color to my beer. I am looking at adding them since I will be adding 64oz pumpkin puree to the mash and I don't want that sludge to stick my sparge.
So my question becomes, how much rice hulls should I use in a grain bill consisting of a total 11# of various malts and the addition of pumpkin puree? That would be like 5.5# rice hulls.
