No, it didn't! The bag got completely gummed up, just a tiny triclke of droplets running out of it, even when massaged and squeezed. Had to use another two pieces of filtering cloth, a bit too much work for a 6-bottles batch. Lotta flour came out of it into the wort too. Never Rye flour makes its way into my bag again, never. I really didn't understand the point of using it in most malt Kwass recipes. It seems to just add more mud, murk and slime with no particular flavour - nothing that adding more Malted Rye may not achieve without the excessive gumminess.

It's probably just cheaper.....
 
Yep, most probably.
Just 33% of diastatic Pale Rye Malt perfectly saccharified the rest of the grist, 100% extract efficiency. "Why then wasting more of it", probably used to say grumpy peasants of the Northeast European Rye Belt :D
