I know this is an old question, but I am asking again anyway.
Tomorrow, I am making an American Pilsner Lager. I am planning on using even parts of
5 lbs - 6 row
5 lbs - 2 row
1.5 lbs - corn grits
1.5 lbs - white rice.
.75 oz Norther Brewer @ 60 min
.4 oz Saaz @ 0 min
Weihenstephan strain yeast - harvest of mixed Fermentis 34/70 & Wyeast 2124 Bohemian
I have grits, both uncooked and 5 minute. I also have rice both regular and minute. I have done cereal mashes and they are a PITA. I would rather just use the pre-gelatinized versions.
My understanding is that the quick versions can be used interchangeably with flaked versions in a 1:1 ratio. Is that what everyone else had experienced?
I have also read that these can just be thrown into the mash as is without the need for a cereal mash. It this also the case?
Thanks
Tim
