Brewing With Flaked Rice

what about Idahoan instant mash potatoes in a wheat beer? that should had some decent haze right?

Yea, that will haze right up on you. Puffed rice cereal is also a good option.

Just use cheap ass store brand minute rice. The point is that you want to use something that the malt enzymes can convert. The way minute rice is made is that is is fully cooked, then dehydrated so all it needs is water to bring it back. Uncle Bens is what is known as "converted" rice. It goes through a steaming process so each grain remains separate, but it still needs to be cooked to get the starches gelatinized, then the enzymes can break them down into sugars in the mash.

I usually run my minute rice through my mill just to make it uniform to dough in.

hope this helps,
