For brown rice i use a bit more water. Maybe 1:1.25 rice to water.
That doesn't sound like anywhere near enough water to me. I do roughly 1 cup of jasmine rice to 1.5 cups of water in my instant pot, comes out perfect every time.
1 cup of water, 1 cup of rice and cooked on the rice setting.
1:1.5 sounds like a very mushy rice. Horses for courses I suppose.
Plus if you can hydrate while you eat, it's more efficient!
