I'm planning to try a Rye beer again (Ratio 3/2.5 Rye to Pale Malt) on my recirculating system, the last time I tried this I got a stuck mash, very stuck even suspending the bag to drain resulted in a slow trickle of liquor.
I had used a beta glucan rest but it still stuck this time I'll give it longer 20 mins at 45C and I'm considering adding Rice Hulls.
I've never used rice hulls before, never needed to, my question is will they make the difference I need and prevent the mash sticking? I buy my grains crushed, I can't play will the mill settings.
My other option would be to use the Mash Stirrer I built, (http://www.biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2234) Id prefer not to its a nuisance and usually does nothing useful but it might save a Rye.
I'm posting a picture of my bags weave the scale is CM, could that be the problem?
