Rice Hulls

Post by **Beer-lord** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 9:36 pm

I'm planning a beer with lots of rye and have never used rice hulls (really don't need them for BIAB but I'm going to anyway until I know my new equipment better) and am curious. Do you adjust the water for rice hulls? Need to presoak? Anything different at all?

I used rice hulls once. I did not pre soak. I just included them in the mash. They were also included in the recipe on BeerSmith, so if there were any water volume adjustments, BeerSmith did it for me.

I don't adjust for rice hulls, but I do find that a sticky mash holds more water.

No need to adjust. They don't soak up water which is why they help with thick mashes. So just add them in when you dough in like normal.
