I just brewed a Kentucky Common (Dark Cream Ale) this weekend. It had about 17.5% Rye Malt in it. First time using Rye but I figure it will come across in a lighter beer much more than anything else. I was just looking to add something different so I’m looking forward to trying it. I will say even with rice hulls, recirculation and run off was quite a bit slower than usual, not a stuck mash but can definitely tell it was a sticky grain bed. When I was done and dumped the mash, I could of packed it into balls like good wet snow.

Which Maltster’s the malt did you use?

Couldn’t tell ya. Not sure what the LHBS carries for Rye Malt. He carries a mix of major brands, perhaps this was Briess.
