Purple v. Hulled (in Barley)

I'm making a new batch of BROL (1 cup each of barley, rye, and oats cooked & mixed with 1 cup of cooked beluga lentils). I'm using purple barley this time. Purple barley is a hull-less variety.

The pepper is a new addition, so I'll use what I learn from this batch to decide on the amount for the future.
