45 min Step 1 Add 6 qt of cold water-Heat to 104.0 F
30 min Step 2 Heat to 120.0 F over 10 min 120.0 F
30 min Step 3 Heat to 150.0 F over 10 min 150.0 F
30 min Step 4 Heat to 158.0 F over 5 min 158.0 F
10 min Step 5 Heat to 170.0 F over 10 min 170.0 F
Sparge with 6 qts. @ 170F
Notes: Pre-cook- whole rice for 30min, with a grain/water ratio of 1# to 2 qts water.
Let cool to under 100F, add cold water @ Aprox. 1# to 1-1/2qts water for additional grains.
Add grains, mix thourghly. This makes a thick starchy mash.
Heat, while stirring, to Step 1 heat.
Between Step 3 & 4, let rest at 154F for 10 min.
Whatever AA% hops you use keep the IBUs around 30, the spruce does some bittering.
The spruce candles/tips must be early, fresh, Spring growth with no sign of hardening. You should be able to take a bite, chew & have a pleasant taste. They freeze well, and will be good until the following Spring.
Thanks brewski!
The rice thats just regular store bought brown rice? Or is it rice hulls or flaked rice?
Also have you ever used spruce extract in this recipe? My LHBS has this but its not real informative on how mush to use.
Yeah, just plain old store bought brown rice.
I do not recommend the spruce extract. Of course, I've never used it.
Just read about some folks trying it with not good results.
Go natural, you can taste it & get a feel for how it will taste in the brew.
Patience, wait for the real stuff. Besides, it's free.
