Does Rye Malt Cloud Beer Like Wheat?

[BierMuncher]

I'm intrigued by the Rye recipes I'm seeing, but I want to work on my conditioning and clarifying skills. So I'm leaning away from wheats and wits a for a few sessions.

Should I not consider an american rye beer with about 10% rye malt?

I have had no trouble with rye causing cloudiness. My Bent Rod Rye is almost 20% rye and clearing nicely.

Perfect. Thanks.

I'm looking forward to a new taste.

I second that. I've only made four beers with significant rye, one with a wee over 20%, and none of them have had haze issues. Then again, I made a wit that came out crystal clear as well, so grain of salt and all!

I've only done one beer with rye (666) and it was clear as a bell.

Quick question for those who posted back about their experience with rye and clarity, did you do a protein rest or was it clear without it? Thanks.
