Ive been wanting to do a rye stout for a while. Of course, Im planning on replacing some of the base malt with rye malt, but I was also thinking of replacing the chocolate malt I generally use with chocolate rye. My one concern is that generally the chocolate malt is somewhere between 350-500L. Chocolate rye is seems is closer to 250-275L.That leads me to think the roast levels are milder and I dont want to end up with a beer thats more toasty than roasty (rhyme unintended).
I dont know the flavor of chocolate rye and how it compares so if anyone can give a good description that would be fantastic.
