Rye malt

Post by beer gut » Tue Feb 02, 2010 7:49 pm

Hello everyone i have a question on Rye malt. I know Rye malt is new to brewing , so iam making a pale ale and i wan't to add some Rye malt to my Grist bill iam only going to use 100g to 200g in the ale.I read on i web page today that Rye malt causes a haze in light beers, however there is no mention of this haze on other Rye malt wright ups on other web pages.So can Rye malt caus hazes in light beers? could i add other adjuncts to counter act this haze effect? any thoughts or advice on this topic would be very appreciated. :D :D

This has Rye malt in it at about 22% http://pdtnc.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/a ... t-and-rye/ turned out a good goldings type bitter, though the First Gold took a while to settle down, No haze problems clear as a bell :)

More rye malt used in this http://pdtnc.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/a ... -measures/ and also No sign of any haze, you are going to be cool up-to 20% or so of your malt bill.

To tell the truth, I really couldn't tell. I'd have to brew two consecutive beers one with and one without Rye.

Iam only using 3% of my grain bill on Rye malt.How does it taste well i don't no caus i have never used it before but i have read that even small amounts can give a spicey yet sliet dry after taste. After i have made my ale using Rye malt i will report on the pro's and cons.
