Hello,

I have my first brew coming up. When I did a test run with water everything went smoothly, although it was extremely shortened. I have 3 hop heavy beers on tap and have some saison yeast that I built up recently so I'm doing a rye saison recipe I like. My question is trouble shooting and avoiding stuck sparges. The recipe is 9# pale malt, 3# malted rye, 1.25# flaked rye. When using rye on my gravity-fed cooler system, I go with a thin mash (1.35gal per # of malt) and add a 0.5# rice hulls, and add the flaked stuff half way through the mash when I give it all a stir.

Any tips on using these high protein ingredients is appreciated.

What false bottom are you using? If using the one I recommend in the build instructions and if you mill at 0.045" or so (also from the instructions) you'll have zero issues.

False bottom: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/kettles-overview?page=6

I don't need to use rice hulls at all, even with 60% wheat.

If you like, throw in a couple of handfuls of rice bulls like you're planning.

Good luck!

Kal

I bought the Blichmann false bottom. I will adjust my roller before I crush.

Thanks again.
