I've only used rye malt once, way back in the Brewpastor's 777 recipe. Tomorrow I want to do Denny Conn's Rye IPA, and I realized I don't have any rice hulls at all.
Is the mash (11 pounds pale malt, 3 pounds rye malt) going to be too sticky with my cooler MLT and false bottom? I don't have a braid, so I'm hoping it'll work out for me. How sticky is this going to be?
Second question- no Wyeast 1272. I was thinking about using my washed WLP041 (Pacific ale yeast). The OG will be around 1.075, and I'll ferment at 65-68 degrees.
Any thoughts?
