Will this work? http://www.villageorganics.com/browricflour.html
Will anything that is 100% organic work? What should I look for when buying BRF?

Yeah, that will work.
The BRF I've used in the past hasn't been organic & it worked fine but you need to avoid the stuff thats been treated with pesticides/fungicides although it rarely states that on the packet.
Just try it and see if it works !

I just went to my nearest nature food grocery and got a brand of brown rice flour, it's working fine. I think you should just read the ingredients: if it doesn't say it has preservatives, and says something about "store in a cool dry place" then it's ok.

it should. you want untreated and unprocessed and I know from previous helath grocery work that arrowhead mills is a very reputable organic vendor. Personally, I use Mahatma brown rice available practically anywhere that sells brown rice. Why Mahatma? Because a long time ago it was the first brown rice I tried and it worked. Why mess with success? This is definitely not to say that Mahatma is the best. Consensus holds than any untreated and unprocessed brown rice will work. Just realized that you are talking about flour and not grains. It is recommended in several teks (most notably PF's) to use rice grain and grind your own flour. Many flours contain preservatives (check the labels, arrowhead mills can be found in many stores). Also grinding the grain forms a slightly coarser flour with more inherent moisture (basically it is fresher) and has proven (according to PF) to be a better substrate material than pre-ground bagged flour. my .02.

Yeah, I would go with the grain but I dont want to shell out the bucks for a coffee grinder.

Use a regular kitchen blender, a coffee grinder is totally uneccessary. I found my blender at a thrift store for about five bucks.

i agree here, any blender will work and it will dull the crap outta the blades. dull blades still make gret BRF but piss off mom/wife so get a dedicated blender. just trying to save you a headache, if saving $ is more important then dull the blades now and buy a new blender for the kitchen later!

I bought a Mr. Coffee brand electric grinder for under $10 at Walgreen's. They are not expensive and work excellently for powdering BFR.

Good point. I have aquired several blender vessels in my travels to yard sales and thrift stores. I have five different ones, each with it's own use. Probably spent 20 bucks for the whole lot.
