frick rye. Second time in a row it has clogged up my manifold halfway through the sparge.


Are you using flaked rye or whole? Flaked is much more soluble than whole and so doesn't clog as much as whole.

Been using whole rye malt at the same crush as the rest of my malt. When you add water it turns to thick clay. I think you could use it to line the bottom of a pond. It tastes so good, though. I used two pounds last time and it didn't clog up near as bad as one pound did yesterday. Not sure what happened. Ended up having to take my paddle and unsnap my cpvc joints on my manifold. Still ended up at 74% efficiency, but could have been a little higher.
