I think its two row.

Revrin: I believe that the LME Rye Malt is not totally Rye, but a blend of barley and 20% Rye.

Rye Malt LME I was thinking about these ingredients to use in my next batch. Let me know what you think: 6LBS Rye malt LME 4 ozs of Honey Malt 25L 4ozs Wheat Malt 4ozs Carapils or Pilsner Malt * 1ozs Hallertau 60min .50ozs Tettananger 15min Whitelabs Liquid Wheat...

Yes I did open mine at room temp and when I heard the loud 'POP' it had me wonder about if I had a bit too much yeast in the bottle since when I drained it some yeast got into the drain tube. I would assume some yeast in the bottle is no harm no foul. It also makes me think how the big...

Using rice solids in brewing: I have used it in the past and found it the be really good. What do you guys here think about using rice in the wort and brewing process in general?

REVVY: I was just wondering about this since the video shows when he opened it on day 11 it did not 'pop' and overflow as badly as mine did. I guess he must have refridgerated it before pouring it. I did not mention it before, but do you guys here think if a little yeast [not too too...

I bottled it after day 17 and it remained 4 days in the bottle. So; FOUR days.

UPDATE: See later replies below I have recently tried a steam style lager and have since bottled it. however when removing the cap on day-4 it overflowed the bottle. About 5 days it was in the primary bucket, and the rest of the 17 days it was in the secondary. I do not understand as I...
