This method is similar is some ways to decoction and was actually kind of fun to do. A good description of this method was presented in the Sept/Oct 2000 issue of Zymurgy. Similar results could be obtained by using flaked rice and corn and a single infusion mash instead of employing the cereal mash. I made a similar ale version of this recipe last year using all corn and while the beer was enjoyable I thought the corn was a little too much. The half rice, half corn leaves some corn flavor that adds to the hop note from the sterling hops for a very enjoyable beer. For those without fridges, the same recipe can be used with a neutral ale yeast such as 1056, White Labs East Coast Ale, or Danstar Nottingham. I recently made a second batch with a little more rice and corn and a higher hop level using Hallertau Tradition as the Flavor and Aroma hops - This batch is now lagering away and hopefully will be ready for Beer and Sweat. NOTE: Promash really does not do this justice. I was too lazy to do the research and add medium grain rice and corn meal to the data base. FrankP
