Hi all....
I'll be making my crack at a partial mash rye this Saturday. The partial mash is going to consist of 3 lb Pale Malt (or maybe 6-row?), 1/2 lb Crystal 40L, and 2 lbs flaked rye (and probably some rice hulls). I know this will be rather sticky, but aside from that should I consider adding Alpha amylase powder to help the conversion of rye starch to sugars? I'm concerned my base malt to rye ratio maybe a bit low seeing as flaked rye has zero diastic power.
Thanks,
Justin
