Brewing With Flaked Rice

[beerdrinker]

Hey,

I am trying to brew a lager from BCS, and the recipe calls for 2# of Flaked Rice. However I can't seem to find any flaked rice.

Should I look towards rice cereals? regular rice?

Also, should I just add it to the mash? Do I need to cook it first?

Thanks!

Flaked can go right in the mash, if you end up needing to use regular cooking rice you'd want to cereal mash it.

Should I be able to find flaked rice at the grocery store? Is there anything I'll need to avoid?

[mordantly]

can you get rice syrup?

[spiderwrangler]

Or rice syrup solids...

Minute rice will work in the mash just like flaked rice. Minute rice is allready gelatinized thats why it cooks so fast.
