Slater Farms Rice Hulls 80L Bale - Approx 20kg
Lauter Aid
Stop stuck mashes or long sparge times.
Rice hulls are protective shell of rice grains that protect them. The hulls are removed during the production of rice for use in the food industry. When Rice Hulls are added to a grain bill they decrease the viscosity of the mash and allow wort to flow through the grain bed faster. This increased lautering capacity makes all grain brew days faster and also helps to minimise or eliminate stuck mashes or stuck sparges. Rice hulls are highly recommended if you're brewing wheat beers and other styles that contain a large proportion of wheat or rye.
Key Features:
- Mash Flow Aid: Prevent stuck sparges and improve wort flow in the mash tun.
- Flavor Neutral: Won’t impact the flavor, color, or aroma of your brew.
- Perfect for High-Protein Grains: Ideal for brewing with adjuncts like wheat, rye, and oats.
- Natural and Sustainable: Made from 100% rice husks, this product is eco-friendly and biodegradable.
Usage rates:
Simply add 5–10% rice hulls to your grain bill, especially when working with adjunct-heavy recipes. When brewing extremely wheat heavy recipes (70%+) you may want to use up to 20% rice hulls. This will help maintain proper mash bed structure, ensuring smooth lautering and a more efficient brew day.
