Notes

Rice Hulls - No Flavoring, helps drain mash
Wheat - Adds creaminess
Special B - Adds Raisin Flavor

Carrots - Some people puree and add to mash, some add to fermentation

Pecans- Essentially, pecans can impart a lot of oil that can interfere with head retention of the beer. According to a forum post, Southern Tier roasts the pecans for 15 mins at 350 and places them on brown paper to drain. Then chops them, then repeats 3 times. Sitting for a few days reduces roasted flavor.
