The Malt
This is an often overlooked malt. BEST Rye Malt has a unique
spicy rye flavour for the production of rye beer. It can help build flavour and
develop complexity in many beer styles, from medium flavoured lagers to dark
ales.
Use
Use in 5% increments until desired flavour is achieved. Rye
Malt is fully modified. It performs well in a single temperature infusion mash
if used at less than 20% of total grist. Hulless and with a high beta glucan
content, Rye Malt can result in a sticky mash and slow lautering. We recommend
adding oat husks when usage levels approach 20% and supplementing.

interest to many beer styles, from medium flavoured lagers to dark ales.
