Rice Hull Bulk Buy
Hi brewers. I am embarking on a journey to create a wheat beer as good as my favourite Franziskaner. http://brewadelaide.com/forum/index.php?topic=1984.0
Therefore at 70% odd wheat i'm pretty sure i'll need some rice hulls. Trouble i have is that although they are very cheap ($60 something fun tickets) through my local feed store, they will only sell me a wool bale full (125kgs) when i am after a chaff bag full (25kgs or so). Too expensive to ship.
Just wondering if there's any brewers close to Tamworth NSW or between here and the central coast that would be interested in sharing some of these (or most of them) as i have no room to store this sort of bulk and will only use a half bucket per quad batch. I'll be heading to the central coast this w'end (probably too soon to get them though) and then again in 43 days when i'm off to Koh Samui.

Don't worry about it. I found a supplier in Newcastle that has them for a reasonable price.

do share...
MHB has em for a $1 a kilo, 10-15kg will fill a 200l drum, so that will be heaps for me.
We go down that way every few months anyway to see family.
If you need some down your way try a rural supply/co-op type setup. They'll get the woolbales for $60+. Bit easier for you to arrange a split too.

@$1 per kg, thats great
I wonder if they can be vacuum sealed...

HAHA yes, they could in very small quantities or on very big equipment. Mark said that 10-15kg fills a 200l drum. I'll need 1/2 kilo or so for each quad batch which is over half a bucket full apparently.

Thanka Punkin. I've tried a few places down here & can only source the 125kg bales.... might need to pay MHB a visit one weekend
Just don't get there before next weekend. :))
