most places don't sell brf... buy a bag of organic brown rice, pop it in a coffee grinder and there ya go!! it's much better fresh like that anyways... peace

Yes I use brown rice in all my mixes and it works great. I always use rye along with my brown rice, have never used brown rice straight.
Have a good one and catch yea later.

This might be a dumb ass question, but would a electric blender work also? Its all I got besides a mortar and pestle. And I REALLY dont wanna do that shit by hand.

i dun think that a blender would grind it into powder... go to walmart and spend $12 on a grinder. or just go get some rye or wbs... that's if you have a pc

BR straight works fine, but you will have an easier and better time using grains like WBS, oats, rye etc...

Ohhhh...yes it does. Point is...... you have to grind whole brown rice up. That is why I posted a picture of my COFFEE GRINDER. Mine just happens to be bigger than most others.

You can also cook brown rice whole and use that. Case the cakes whole, and wah-lah.

Thanx Holy Diver. Actually, I found a tek on the Shroomery called "the 9er tek". It uses nothing but whole cooked brown rice. I just finished making 3 pint jars as an experiment. Sorry for being kinda pushy agar, it just gets kinda crazy as a newb, when you see one thing, then hear another. Thanx anyway agar, and may peace, and shroom fairies follow your ways.

from what i've read here, white rice works for fruiting nice shrooms. but, they'll have little to no potency, (anyone correct me if i'm wrong).
the health food store i went to had a wide selection of brf to choose from, but i read here that making it fresh produced better results, so i ground the whole rice in my wifes coffee grinder. honestly i tryed her food processor first because the compartment was bigger. but it was taking forever to do it in that weak thing. the grinder did it in seconds!
another option may be to take your rice to the coffee aisle in walmart, and dump it in their grinder if no employees are looking. the only downside may be that it may have a few coffee grinds left in it that will get mixed with your brf. i don't know if this will hurt it or not???

It's brown rice you want, not white rice. Grounding your own fresh brown rice is always preferred over store bought ground for freshness.

lol might have to do that. Dude, I looked at Meijers, Health&Harvest, chinese, vietnamese, and korean markets, called every health food store I seen, and so on. Health and harvest was only 1 that had it, and when I got there, I found out they either just left, or relocated. Oh, well. Where do u live, if I may ask? And I love your avatar btw!
