Rice

[jeffpn]

I’ve never used rice in a beer. I have lagering capabilities. Does anyone have a favorite? I wouldn’t mind trying something.

Do you like rice in a beer? Could do a Japanese lager, or do a Sorachi Ace hoppy lager with rice. just spitballing..

Doesn’t have to be overbearing. Budweiser has rice in it. But I wouldn’t mind a Japanese Lager either. I’m not big on really hoppy beers though.

I did a fair bit of research coming up to brewing Ozarks Blondie and of course stumbled upon references to the big American larger producing companies Budweiser and Millers is it anyhow one of em uses rice the other corn and or both anyhow what I took out of my research on adjuncts being (unmelted grains including barley and wheat) is that rice and corn thin the mouthfeel giving you a more refreshing light taste and colour to your lager. Adjuncts like unmalted barley actually aid in Bodie and unmalted wheat is great for both body and head retention. I also read of South Africa using Sorgum in their larger that got me super interested in trying a partial sorghum brew just for kicks.

other than this I've got no hard brewing experience sorry Jeffpn give me three weeks and I'll have a taster ready....

My favorite use is in a Cream Ale. I've used it in an IIPA to lighten the malt backbone with good results as well.
Depending on the % of use, you may need to up your efficiency though.

Just substitute 10 to 20 percent flaked rice (Minute Rice will do ) or flaked corn in any recipe. I use a good Czech Pilsner malt and corn for my Cream Ale and I've used my local Pale Ale malt and rice. Keep it simple 2-Row or Pilsner, Rice, noble hops, clean ale yeast or non-finicky lager yeast. Throw in 5% Vienna or light Munich if you want more malt flavor a little bit more blonde color - straight Pilsner and adjunct gives me straw-pale beer.
I mash fairly low and throw in a dextrine rest, 148F and 158F, or you can mash a little higher. You could even just throw in about 2% Carapils if you're concerned about getting body, but I've found it isn't an issue and no Cara-Crystal malt of any sort is necessary.
