Did Conan attenuate fully for you? I only hit about 75% ADT with my Pale Wheat. Not bad, but I was expecting more of a monster...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07264878274349304573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081751738815878503.post-72630046724179685202014-04-08T13:28:18.028-04:002014-04-08T13:28:18.028-04:00I haven't used much rye but for my last brew (...I haven't used much rye but for my last brew (40% rye and wheat Brett beer) we did set the rollers a bit tighter for the wheat and rye, and hit our expected OG dead on. However, we were on the brink of a stuck sparge (even though we used rice hulls) so I'll probably deal with the hit on gravity and mill normally if I'm not using rye in a BIAB batch.

The only other thing I can think of is that I may have mis-measured my grain. I can only measure a few kg at a time, so it is perfectly conceivable that I mis-measured the base malt...Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16672407110077541595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081751738815878503.post-33237326926723698302014-03-31T21:51:57.825-04:002014-03-31T21:51:57.825-04:00I can assert that Conan plays nice with rye: my fi...I can assert that Conan plays nice with rye: my first brew with it was a red rye pale ale. Between the yeast and the rye you'll probably get incredible head retention!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14835772813247424283noreply@blogger.com
