Boil rice for 30 minutes. Add grains and water for mash. First rest at 94°F for 30 minutes to help break down the adjuncts. Raise the temperature to 122°F for 30 minutes for protein degradation. Raise the temperature to 140°F for 15 minutes for better head retention and clarity. Raise the temperature to 153°F for 45 minutes for starch conversion. Raise the temperature to 158°F for 20 minutes for complete conversion. Mashout at 168°F for 10 minutes. Sparge with 168°F water at < 6 pH. Boil the wort and add your 3/4 oz. Saaz. Boil for 60 minutes. Add the other 1/4 oz. Saaz. Boil for 30 minutes. Add 1 oz. Cascade. Boil for 2 minutes. Force chill if possible. Rack to primary and aerate.
