Dan - I have not used the Ener-G brand rice bran. It took a while but I finally bought Wel-Pac Nuka Zuke No Moto Pickling Rice Bran on line from Pacific Mercantile in Denver, CO. I started my nuka doko per Sandor Katz's Wild Fermentation instructions in early May 2012 and have been using it to good effect since. I am about to do my first major refurbishment of the bed because I have been pickling beets and their juices have turned the bed a brick red color that infuses everything else I pickle with their color and taste. I will soon have two nuka doko beds - one for beets and the other for all else. I have two 8-oz boxes of the Ener-G bran which I am going to put in the beet bed. Except for a little starter from my original batch, my new nuka doko will be made from the Wel-Pac bran.
Sorry for the tardy reply to your post.
