benken25 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi all its been a little while since my last post I have just got back from my honeymoon in thailand. apart from all the normal honeymoon activities[bandit] i tried a fair bit of beer i was a bit dissapointed with the comercial beers over there singha is the best and thats not saying much but it goes down well in the heat. I come across a brew bar called full moon brew work in a shopping center in phuket it was great craft beer and the staff where realy friendly they had beers using rice malt and black sticky rice malt. for my first brew back i want to make a beer using some rice malt I remember reading a thread about some you can but at coles but cant find it did anyone end up using some? is it fermentable and will it just add flavour? any help would be much appricated im still thinking up the brew need some more food for thought[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi Ben, This is what I came up with for my Rice malt experiment: Columbia Valley Cream Ale 1.7Kg Canadian Blonde 500g LDM 628g Brown rice syrup 500g BE1 14g chinook 30mins 12g cascade 20mins 10g 5mins 14g cooper's yeast 189g dex for bulk prime 23L water OG1.052 FG 1.010 ABV6.1% The rice makes a crisp taste. I think it should be cold lagered if possible. Using TC Pilsner kit with the lager yeast might might be a good substitute for the Can. Blonde. After two months in the bottle it is becoming a pretty good thirst slaker. It needs more time, though. I'd like to hear what you come up with. Chad PS really... don't use too much Rice or it will end up like BUD![sick] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
