It wasn't head retention, but the head clotting up. (I can't believe you remember that; I'd forgotten.) I never did figure it out, just drank it up. That was the last time I used minute rice, though.I remember a thread about beers with rice and head retention issues - I think maybe George had started it? Just curious George if you ever got to the bottom of that. Was it the instant rice after all or something else causing the head to collapse?

this.I've used minute rice without even precooking. Ground it to polenta-sized flour in the blender and added it to the grist like any other grain.As Deerslyr says, you will have to precook whole grain rice. Pressure cooker or crock pot is easiest.
i've never had problems past filtering.good to see you again, weave.One last point..... Every batch I've used rice in requires gelatin to clear it up. I have yet to make a beer made with rice that wasn't cloudy.
