Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't denny's rye only have 3lbs of rye for a 10 gallon batch? Does the rye impact the flavor this much?

3 lb. for a 5 gal. batch....about 18%. Personally, I don't care for much more than about 30% rye and at that rate have never had a stuck runoff or needed to use rice hulls.

Thank you, Jim, thank you -- I am NOT nuts.

No, you're not, but neither are those of us who think it adds a spiciness!

I've been reading this thread the past couple days and I KNOW I used rye in a recipe... only problem is I can't remember which! My computer crashed in the spring, and along with it all of the data. Oops. My memory is failing me as to "what" I've brewed in the last year where I would have used rye.

Deerslyr,You need to get yourself a brewlog like basic brewing sells. I had your same problem last year and lost a few on Beersmith as well. Now I keep the log as I brew and write all the recipe notes and don't worry about comp anymore. Just an idea :covreyes:

But that's just so damn logical! :covreyes: I got BeerSmith so that I wouldn't have to save any paper. I guess this whole "paperless society" is a bunch of balogney. It's entirely possible that I used soome in an IPA...
