Toasted rice

[earachemyeye69]

I’m going to do another batch of rice lager but was thinking about toasting the rice before putting it into the mash.
Does anyone know if this will affect the saccharifcation results or is it simply the same as using a toasted barley or other grain?

it's not going to change the gel temp of the starch?

I don’t know and is exactly why I’m asking

Never tried it but its been used in some commercial brews, they're likely using toasted flaked rice:

Its lager season for me (cold basement for fermenting) so I might try toasting regular white rice and then boiling it before the mash to see what happens. Never thought about it, thanks for posting!

Yeah I’m going to give it a shot and see what happens.

I needed 1kg for the next batch and took 100 grams out and toasted it. Not sure that it will do anything for the flavor but I got a feeling it won’t convert as well regular rice.
Anyway this looks like a stuck mash in the making. Add lots of hulls

you need to add some crushed 2-row malt, it'll liquify pretty quick....at the right temp....
