Fellas, can rye malt be mashed by itself?

[HVB]

I am 99% sure you can do a all rye and it will convert.

[Poptop]

Thank you.

[ChicagoWaterGuy]

If you can look up the malt's diastatic value, anything close to 40 Lintner will self convert.

[positiveContact]

my googling is indicating that 100% rye will convert.

[Poptop]

Much appreciated

Domestic rye malt like Briess, absolutely.  Continental rye malt, more than likely.  But I really don't think you want to make a 100% rye malt beer.  I've gone as high as 60% and even for a rye freak like me it was almost to much.

if we are assuming beer is the product I agree.  I think 40% is about as high as I'd ever want to go.

Yeah, I thought about the end result after I posted.

[MyaCullen]

if it's the other end product I'm thinking of, sparge wont be an issue either

I'm doing a 2.5 pound mash with 1 of those pounds being rye. Mashing in a bag. This mix is intended to be incorporated into 1/2 of a 10 gallon Saison.

What could possibly go wrong? Hahahaha

so can you get a "stuck bag" when you BIAB?

I had an issue once with oats.  It was not stuck just very slow but I think with a bag you have less issues than a traditional sparge.

[Poptop]

Let's hope so. I plan on mashing/boiling/keeping sanitary the day before the actual brew. Time will be on my side.

Damn, how much oats were in there?

It was only 2# or 13% of the grist.  It ran off very slow and I ended up just leaving it for a few hours to drain and went back latter in the day to finish the beer.  I was Thanksgiving day 2014 so I had some down time in the middle of the day .. lol.
