Rice hulls

[RedClayBrewer]

When do you use rice hulls and how much do you use?

You use them to help prevent a stuck mash and increase runoff in the mash tun. They should be used with base malts such as Rye when more than 50% of the grain bill is Rye. I'm not sure how much to use exactly, I would go by eye personally - making the call while doughing in

May you...
Work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Dance like no-one is watching,
Screw like it's being filmed,
And drink like a true Irishman.

They come in handy when making beers with large portions of wheat, too. Any grain without a hull like barley.
