I am planning on brewing my first batch this weekend that includes rye. I am using the same grain bill as the Raging Red Irish Ale by Mysticmead in the recipe section of HBT, except I'm adding rye. I would like to add both flaked and malted rye, as I've read it gives a great rye flavor. Below are the percentages of what I plan on using. For anyone that's brewed with rye before, what are your thoughts? Too much, not enough...etc? Thanks for the help!!
65% Pale Malt (2 Row) US
10% Caraaroma
10% Flaked Rye
7% Malted Rye
4% Carafoam
4% Melanoiden Malt
RICE HULLS AS WELL
I am planning on using a single-infusion mash at 153 for 60 min with a two step batch sparge at 170.
