Where to buy 25kg bags of rice hulls

Post by Fred Caure » Mon Feb 15, 2016 1:38 pm

Does anyone know who sells 25kg bags of rice hulls in the UK? The likes of Charles Faram and Brewers Select don't seem to offer them and i don't want to pay top dollar to Malt Miller who charges a lot more for big bags than usual retailers.

I know the malt miller offers 2 different prices for speciality grains so don't just look at the price and for a kilo and times by 25. Same with most shops.
There's also Staffordshire brewing supplies too

I haven't seen rice hulls here, but I have seen and used oat husks, which should do exactly the same thing for you.
Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast, Seaweed, Blood, Sweat, The swim bladder of a sturgeon, My enemies tears, Scenes of mild peril, An otter's handbag and Riboflavin.

Oat husks are £2.30 per kilo from the Malt Miller (he might do a discount for a sack though) or you could contact Neales: http://www.nealesbrewingsupplies.co.uk/ ... d_888.html
