I want to make a rye pale ale. I'm an extract brewer and tried a mini mash once using my 2 gal water cooler, which i learned didn't hold the temp well enough, though now I know to keep a better eye on it and be ready to add hot water. Maybe if it were more full it would hold the temp longer (~1/2 full).
If I were to make a 4.3 gal batch how much rye would I need? And does it need to mashed with malted barley?
