Usually work on about 3 to 1 Water to brown rice.

I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

I shall use my time." Jack London

I only use 2 and a bit cups, but then I use the slow cook absorption method.

The directions on the bags of brown rice that I buy say you should use 2ΒΌ cups water to 1 cup rice.  I bring it to a boil, cover and then simmer for 45 minutes.  I use the same technique and ratio when I cook a 50/50 mix of brown rice and Farro (spelt).  It works just fine (And tastes awesome as well!).

I was taught: two fingers of water above the rice. Not sure if that helps, but it worked for me and I don't even like rice.

A southern girl taught me  to use two fingers over the rice, too. I don't like brown rice though.

Depends on how "stiff/sticky" you want your rice 1/2 - 1/3.

Open up another tab or three... ;)

On some of my past online debates/arguments I've been known to have 2 browser windows open, each with 5 tabs...and doing a LOT of copy + pasting... :-X

...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...
