Rye and wheat together

Post by Mgnt »

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

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 :mrgreen: . As for this mess up there...I'm excited for the results but so far they smell fantastic!
