Thought about use a grain bill of
8.5 lbs corn
3.5 lbs red wheat malt
1 lb rye malt
It's a 6 gallon mash
What do you guys think about mix wheat and rye
Rye and wheat together

Re: Rye and wheat together
I have bubbling away for the last week or so:
50 lb corn
20 lb 2 row
15 lb rye
15 lb wheat
I have previously done a 15 lb wheat with 7.5 lb rye and that came out great
. As for this mess up there...I'm excited for the results but so far they smell fantastic!
