Which Bulk Grains to have on hand?

[Hawgbranch]

Why buy rice hulls when you can malt condition? Just lightly mist your malt with water before milling. I use a corona mill and get almost zero husk shredding when I malt condition. I've never had a stuck sparge.

This is a good thread. I am about to pull the trigger on a Barley Crusher and hopefully taking part in a club grain buy real soon. So, for the first time I am attempting to plan out my order based on future recipes. I am mainly concerned with the bulk amounts as I dont mind ordering special grains as I need them at first.
I will be recirculating my mash through a RIMs tube and mashing in a 10gal cooler with a domed false bottom.
I am curious if certain systems may do better than others by employing rice hulls. From what I have heard and read some systems react differently when recirculating the mash.

The only time I get a stuck mash is if I have the pump valve open too far.(flow too fast)
But with direct fire if it is too "slow" the temp will overshoot the target temp after the burner kickes off.
