Has anyone noticed a differance in using brown rice that has been grinded and stored over freshly ground?

i think i read something about it being better fresh but what is the actual differance?

It is going to be stored in an airtight container, of course:hippie:

They work about the same for me. I grind because it's hard to find the rice flour. Plus...white vs brown rice...that doesn't matter much either. Cubbies like both.

i only use Lundbergs organice freshly grounded. worked very well on my first grow so i never switched. but as said before if its stored right its fine.

If you want to get super cheap, go buy yourself a 50# bag of wild bird seed from HD or Lowes for $12. Grind it as you would rice and use as PF's tek states. No difference and much more cheaper....

[Chen & Barley]

shedthemonkey - White rice has been stripped of all nutrients, maby extra nutes should be added like nut. yeast or bee pollen?

Lazlo - I had tried birdseed but it was cold and i was on holiday and a incubator broke and nothing much happend, many had also grown a green powder like mold,

i threw that shit out, fuck it.

I live very near a health food store that carries at least 5 different kinds of brown rice. Sweet brown rice, long grain brown rice, i cant remember the others. I checked the labels and didnt notice much difference other than the amount of fat which ranges from 0.5g to 1.5g. has anyone experimented with these?

I'm also interested in this subject. Can one use brown rice instead of grinding it up into flour? Do you know gonzo ??

Exclude a health food store for rice. Too pricey for the product. Go to Wal-Fucking-Mart (in the morning before all of the moorons pile in) and go get yourself a large bag of Uncle Ben's brown rice for a couple of bucks. Then simply grind the rice in a blender to be used for cakes. Don't over fill the blender too much because it's a pain to grind it properly. 4 cups a pop in the blender is easy as pie to grind.....

i'm your man on rice...there are over 5 types of brown rice and it goes from lite brown to reddish like...DO NOT use the sweet rice as it is called sticky rice as it's name says it all very sticky!. the darker brown rice ya will need to soak them a few hours then cook like reg white. it will come out hard and will not stick. also it has more nutes than white rice. i usually use brown rice with some verm or coir...works great, a little over cooked brown rice is no problem as it still won't stick..just rinse,mix and pc...

It has beem my expierence that health food store rice is too costly. With my particular strains, fresh ground (in your own blender) long grain brown rice does the trick best. Quicker colonizing, better first flushes. But everyone has their own opinoin on the attributes of store bought campared to fresh. But fresh is definatley cheaper !. I also avoid "parboiled" rice as it has already been boiled and lacks some nutes. Uncle Ben's is the way to go or I just buy the Kroger generic brown rice (same as uncle ben's). Besides, by the time you buy 3 bags at the health food store.... you could buy a cheap blender and a bag of Ben's :)

I make my own brf flour all the time for my cakes. I use generic "Long Grain" Brown Rice. I've used America's Choice and Stop n Shop and another few brands. The attached picture shows ya what I mean. Supermarket. I've gotten better results on my cakes using my own ground brown rice and not store bought organic brown rice flour.

No way, the organic long grain brown rice @ my local health food store is only 49 cents a pound. I bought a bag full of one of those clear produce bags for under 4 dollars. Maybe I don't go through as much, but that bag has seemed to last a while, for pf cakes at least.

I have experimented with sweet brown rice before, and I did not like it. Still sittting on about 20# of it too.

Cheap long grain brown rice, Mahatma brand.

Success has been reported with virtually every kind of rice (including white).

Sticky is bad in jars.

When using BRF, I have had good luck with the cheap, generic brown rice @ .99 a bag.

Does anyone use a coffee grinder? I'm wondering because I have one of my own - but it says not to grind rice in it.

Would rice really damage a Black & Decker coffee grinder?

If so what do you use?
