Brown Rice instead of Brown Rice Flour

Hello!
I'm attempting my first grow tomorrow, using the PF Tek. I already got most of the materials, I still need air spray and anti bacterial spray to clean the inoculation room (which will be a bathroom).
I couldn't find brown rice flour so i got the whole rice, will it be a problem? I also have fine grounded vermiculite...
Thanks!

All you have to do is put it in a coffee grinder or blender just be careful with the blender you can burn the rice.

That's what I did. Bought Brown rice, grounded it up and used that. It worked.
Good luck OP.

Sorry, forgot to say that I don't have a coffee grinder! And I'm kinda on a budget...
But won't the fine grounded verm + the flour be very compact?

You can use a blender.
And yes it will be compact.
You must somehow grind the rice to a fine powder.

i've yet to have a problem with my pf mix(stoneground flour+sandy verm)in tall H-pints its all about how you load the jars really(and moisture content)..i'll take the first couple of spoonful's and gently shake the mix off the spoon into the jars as i tilt and spin em lookin for any big voids/gaps/spaces in the substrate that the myc might not jump to and colonize..you might have to dump some out a time or two to get the feel for it thou

There’s a whole rice Tek available at, “Rice Tek: macro solutions to mega problems.”
Not sure about effectiveness but in my opinion you’re setting yourself up for a fail doing your original plan, i.e. straight PF Tek with whole grain rice.

Thanks for your support guys!
Guess what, I went for a walk through the city and found some brown rice flour! I'm afraid that it gets so compact that the myc won't get through...
Another question, I have a private bathroom, which was where I was thinking about inocculating, but then I read somewhere about doing it inside a closet, which would be better?
By the way, i'm going to steam sterelize it, I don't have a pressure cooker.

Ok guys, thanks for your help!
I made the substrate and already steam sterilized it. They are cooling down overnight inside the pot. Tomorrow I'll inoculate the spores on my closet (I think it's better than on the bathroom) and hope they don't contaminate!
I read that they should be kept on a dark space, but I also read that natural light was better, what's your opinion on this?
UPDATE:
inoculation done, went better than expected, stored the jars in a towel and turned on the heater.
I found out that one of the jars is slightly cracked, it it bad?
With the remains of the spores I'll try the WBR tek, will update.
