Rice vs. Millet for base malt

[jmitchell3]

Anyone have opinions on this? I've used pale millet malt for the first 4 batches I've done, but I'm interested in trying either a mixed base malt grist and full rice malt base to see if the flavors are a bit less sweet than full on millet....

I have not used rice malts but many on here have with success. I think a substantial number even mix the two especially millet as a base and rice specialty malts to create the style. Since I tend to do long 2 hour mashes anyway, adding a few more minutes for rice isnt a big deal.

I think you'll get specific feedback from a few regulars here but I'd say go for a mixture of Grouse and Eckert and see how it goes.

I have used millet, rice and buckwheat in my brews. Check glutenfreehomebrewing.org for some good recipes.
