• Flavor: Spicy Rye

CHARACTERISTICS / APPLICATIONS

• An often overlooked malt, Rye Malt has a unique spicy rye flavor for the production of rye beer.
• Rye Malt can help build flavor and develop complexity in many beer styles, from medium flavored lagers to dark ales.
• Use in 5% increments until desired flavor is achieved.
• Rye Malt is fully modified. It performs well in a single temperature infusion mash if used at less than 20% of total grist.
• Hulless and with a high beta glucan content, Rye Malt can result in a sticky mash and slow lautering.
• We recommend adding rice hulls when usage levels approach 20% and supplementing with a beta glucanase enzyme above 35% for manageable lautering.
