You can if you want, but not necessary. I don't.

Ditch the rice and stick with just the corn in that recipe! My .02

I think it looks like a solid recipe! Very similar grain bill to one I did this summer and it scored a 40. I used cluster hops though. No crush on corn or rice, just mash in with the pale malt

 

[Hammy71]

No need to crush the corn or rice. I'm lazy however, so when I measure out my grain bill it all goes into a bucket and then dumped into the mill. So, it won't hurt, but it won't help either.

I'd definitely add some rice hulls to your mash!

Thanks, I always mash with a bag in my 10 gal cooler. Works great for me and I don't have to use rice hulls or worry about a stuck mash.
