looks like a very good recipe, you probably don't need the rice hulls. I might give this one a try, but I would just go with a Single Infusion Mash at 155F.

Wonder what degree the RB is supposed to be in that receipe. Seems to be a similar variable to the degree of crystal malt.

Soo I screwed the pooch and miscalculated the second strike temp for the main mash (forgot to calculate in the existing protein rest water temp in addition to the grain temp), so I boiled up my mash out water, plus a bit of the sparge water as well to bring it up to 148 F for mash. Looks like she's going to be a super light stout! OG was 1.051.

Sorry Richard, was doing too many things at once last night - didn't get a chance to grab the camera... it does look dark though and it does smell good!

Hi Dave - yes it was - I'll be making it again for sure so it'll be interesting if it turns out the same or not...
