Rye Wit

[Taboot]

If you have seen this other places, then I am sorry, but I need to get my starter going for a potential brewday of Saturday. I am worried about getting the conversion I am looking for from the Rye.

Do you think this will work? I do the countertop partial mash from BYO.

2 lbs Flaked Rye
1 lb Belgian Pale
.5 lb Belgian Aromatic
.5 lb Flaked Wheat

Mash for 45 minutes at 152 or so

3 lbs Wheat DME @ 15 to go
1 lb Extra Light DME @ 15 to go

.75 oz Styrian Goldings @ 60 Substitution? Too much?
.5 oz Styrian Goldings @ 15

Wyeast 3944 Belgian Witbier

OG 1.054
ABV 5.7%
IBU 20, but will probably be higher with the lower gravity boil for the first 45 mintues.

I made some changes and I left off the spices on the original post

2 lbs. Belgian Pale
1 lbs. Rye Malt
.5 lbs. Belgian Wheat Malt
.5 lbs. Rye Flaked
3 lbs. Muntons Dry Wheat
1 lbs. Dry Extra Light Extract
.5 oz. Styrian Goldings (Pellet, 6.00 %AA) boiled 60 min.
.5 oz. Styrian Goldings (Pellet, 6.00 %AA) boiled 15 min.
1 ounces Corriander (not included in calculations)
1 ounces Orange Peel (not included in calculations)

what mash temp are you looking at?

Definitely go with the second one there, you need that much base malt to convert the rye/wheat.

I am shooting for 152. I am not sure where I was going with all of the flaked adjuncts. I should probably just keep it more simple and go with JZ's witbier recipe and try to convert it to my partial mash system, but I really want to give rye a shot.

Well, I've never brewed with rye, but I can tell you partial mashing JZ's wit recipe makes a damn tasty beer.

I think your second recipe will be just fine. Go w/ Jamil's wit if you want but there's no rye there.

Why not pull a double header? Do both in one day then they'll ferment side -by-side and you can decide which you like better.

I am going to go ahead and roll with the one in the second post, so I will let you know. I swaped out the flaked rye with rye malt and I am off to the LHBS at lunch.
