would it be possible to just mill your grain to almost flour consistency and add rice hulls...wouldn't this improve efficiency and the rice hulls keep it from getting stuck...in addition how much hulls would you use...thanks
Kaiser said:yes, this will work. But because you are shredding the husks to flour, you can expect a greater tannin extraction which may lead to a less desirable beer at the end.
One way of avoiding the husk shreddage is to condition the grain husks with moisture to make them more flexible. Then you can mill much finer while still being able to keep the husks from being milled into flour. The large flour content in the mash will give you problems during lautering if you don't be careful or add rice hulls.
