As some of you know, I'm surrounded by BMC drinkers at my place in WV. Kind of why I brew mostly Lagers.
Anyway, I figured I'd try rice instead of corn as an adjunct.
This is what I came up with.
6 lbs 8.0 oz Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 65.0 %
2 lbs 8.0 oz Rice, Flaked (Briess) (1.0 SRM) Grain 2 25.0 %
8.0 oz Acid Malt (3.0 SRM) Grain 3 5.0 %
8.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 4 5.0 %
0.60 oz Liberty [4.30 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 5 8.8 IBUs
0.25 oz Hallertauer Mittelfrueh [4.00 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 6 1.2 IBUs
0.25 oz Hallertauer Mittelfrueh [4.00 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 0.0 min Hop 7 0.0 IBUs
Instead of flaked rice, I cooked up 2.5 lbs of Jasmine rice. Let me tell you, that's a shit load of rice.
I also added almost a pound of rice hulls. Lautered and sparged well. Kind of surprised at that. Figured it would be a gummy mess.
Went into the fermenter @ 13 brix. Kind of surprised at that too since I didn't mill the rice. An immersion blender probably would have really kicked it up a bunch, probably way too much.
Yeast is WLP940, so it should be clean. I use it most of the time unless I'm doing a Czech or German Pils.
Anyway, it will be a fun experiment and I should end up with a rather uninspiring Lager if it goes to plan.
