Toasted Rye
« on: August 11, 2010, 11:55:27 am »
Has anyone ever toasted flaked rye, similar to toasting flaked oats?  I am thinking about this for an Amber Ale for my next brew.  Ideas?  Expreriences?

I toasted some flaked corn. The beer came out fine.
I had never brewed the recipe before so I don't really know if it
did much flavor wise. It certainly wasn't "wow this beer tastes like toasted corn"

Hadn't thought of doing this.  I brew a lot of rye beers so I will have to give this a try.  I love the taste of toasted oats in beers, so I imagine this might be good with rye too.  Thanks for the idea.

I lightly toasted a few pounds of raw rye. The only beer I've used it in is still fermenting.

I do the same thing with raw wheat and very much like the results.

Rye berries or flaked rye?

Either way sounds delicious.

It's just plan rye. Must be very high in protein because I've not been getting very high extract from it. I used 23% (half flaked, half toasted raw) in a IPA yesterday. The mash smelled pretty toasted, but the hydrometer sample didn't have much of the toasted flavor. The rye is there, but as sweet as it is I may just have missed any toast. The Red ale I brewed last only used about 6% and it's grain bill is so complex I doubt I'll ever be able to pick it out. The FG sample was very tasty.

Alright the IPA is on tap now ready for the holiday. It's simple.

9 lb Great Western 2-row
1 lb Crystal 15L
1.5 Flaked rye
1.5 Toasted raw rye -- I toasted it at 300F for 30 minutes.
(OG 1.068 for 5 gallons)
.5 Columbus FWH
.25 Magnum 80 min
2 oz Amarillo 10 min
1 oz Columbus Dry hop in secondary

The rye flavor is perfect. No noticeable toasted flavor. Strong bitterness and flavor. Aroma is a little low. I should have used another oz of dry hops. Some reason my kegged beer never has as much aroma as my bottle conditioned beer.

You can always try adding another ounce of hops right into the keg.
