A whiter shade of Rye
Witbier • All Grain • 22 L
The Rye malt will throw the colour out a little. Saaz hops are FWH. Add some wholemeal wheat and rice hulls to mash. My Final gravity was 1.055. My first beer with Rye malt as I have a 25kg bag I think you will see some more recipes along the way. Brewes 4th August 2004

Discussion
A beer of complex flavours
2004-12-28 6:13pm
This beer was a real different beer, with the Rye malt and spices it was full of very nice complex flavours. For a different beer give this one a go. Next time I will bottle instead of kegging to see how it matures over a 3 month period. Ray
