Notes
I do this recipe BIAB. You can use instant minute rice if you prefer. I have on several brewings and it lends a lighter color to the beer. I use RO water and add salts to bring it to within the target water profile of balanced. My mash PH is 5.38. I mash at a 158 F and my grain to water ratio is 1.25 qts/lb Originally I was fermenting for 14 days and then bottle conditioning for 2 weeks. I think the added week in the fermenter lets the beer clarify more as there is no secondary. I harvest the leftover yeast cake dividing it into 3 pint jars and I am set for 3 more batches. The original recipe that I was using calls for 2 row, flaked corn, flaked rice and safale US-05. That made a pretty good beer, but I wanted something just a tad sweeter.
