Wheat/Rye/Corn combo?

[Grimsawyer]

Say, anyone know if rye is malted? I'm thinking about going balls out on an anarchy brew. 33% wheat, 33% corn, 33% rye and using a farmhouse or saison yeast then simcoe/amarillo/cascade/sorachi ace-ing it out! The problem is getting enough enzymes to convert starches. In a thread last week i was informed that wheat is malted and you can get malted corn. What about rye? Anyhow, this brew could be great or it could be just tragicly in need of being run through a still to "recover" lost alcohol, HAHA!!

You can get malted rye, but I'm going to place a preliminary vote for "still fodder"

I know my LHBS sells malted rye, but I haven't tried brewing with it yet. Sounds like a fun experiment, let us know how it turns out!

Might wanna go 25/25/25/25 barley, just to be sure about the enzymes... definintely sounds interesting though, update the thread if you do it.

I think the corn is unnecessary. Its only going to lighten the body.
