rye malt in porter recipe

[sheephrdr]

I am thinking of useing some rye malt in a porter recipe, like 1/2 lb or somthing, any thoughts on using rye malt for porter? I think i would dig it but id like some feedback for ammounts ect. I generaly like robust porter styles.

Sounds pretty good, 1/2# would probably give it a slight spiciness, I'd start there too. You can make rye a pretty large portion of your grain bill, so the sky is the limit as far as experimentation goes.

Chairman,

Are you batch sparging or sparge?

Looks like a good batch? Also why 149* fo SAC and 165*MO/SPRG?
