When all-grain brewing using large quantities of wheat, oats or other coarse grains, the filter bed can become easily clogged, which makes lautering very difficult. BREWFERM rice hulls (or rice husks) are the ideal solution.
- Steam-sterilised rice husks
- Guaranteed free of organic and chemical contaminants
- Completely neutral flavour profile
- No more clogged filter beds
- Add during mash, using approx. 5% adjunct

When all-grain brewing using large quantities of wheat, oats or other coarse grains, the filter bed can become easily clogged, which makes lautering very difficult. BREWFERM steam-sterilised rice hulls (or rice husks) are the ideal solution: these rice hulls do not affect the flavour at all and can be used to improve the lautering of the mash:
When to use: whenever you expect problems lautering the mash:
- When using a lot of wheat malt (more than 50%) – wheat malt has no husks, which makes lautering difficult.
- When using a lot of unmalted grain (flakes)
- When using rye (rye has no husks either, but can lead to a type of "gel" forming on the grain bed). The filter can become blocked, with no more liquid able to pass through the grain bed (a.k.a. a stuck sparge). You can use Brewferm rice hulls to prevent this from happening. They make the filter bed less compact, allowing liquids to penetrate more easily.
Use: max. 5% adjunct. The simplest option is to add the rice hulls to the mash (especially if using a system that circulates the wort (Braumeister, Grainfather, Brew Monk etc.).
