Using flaked rice and maize

[BeerCat]

I have a cream ale recipe with rice, on my list to try

Do you think it could work in a stout with a dry English yeast?

I am interested in what anyone makes of rice as I thought it was generally (in big breweries) used as its cheaper than sugar (or barley etc).

Dont see why not. It would just not have that thicker mouth feel of a stout. My guess is it would taste/mouthfeel like a mild with any higher alcohol levels hidden (in that odd way dark beer seem to hide alcohol levels well)

I will probably give it a go and use dehusked dark malts. It will probably end up like a black rice lager though which wouldn't be bad.
I think the dark malts mask the alcohol as well. My 10% plus stouts taste a lot less boozy than my weaker barley wine.
