Rice Milling - a tour of the Anheuser Busch Rice Mill
Join us as we tour the Anheuser Busch Rice Mill and learn about rice, how and why it is milled and what makes brewery rice different from table rice. You will see rice go from paddy rice to brown rice to white rice and learn what happens to the husk, bran, and germ along the way.
We hope you enjoy this learning adventure about a crop that accounts for 20% of the world's calories consumed by humans each year.

I have a Truper submersible pump similar in design. I suspect its float switch connection is bad so I am trying to disassemble it. Mine has Triwing screws where yours had torx. Triwing is like Philips head but with three points, where Philips has four. I had to find and buy some Triwing drivers, for the first time in my life!
