Posted: Sat Feb 08, 2014 7:35 pmwhat size are you looking at fermenting ?
my guess would be for a 28L ferment @ around 70-75 % efficiency
3.1 kg Cracked Corn
6.5 Kg Malted Rye
0.5 kg Malted Barley
that would put you in the area of
30% Corn
65% Rye
5% Barley
but remember Rye takes along time to come good , i think kiwikeg would be the person to give his opinion here.... i say give it a try and let us all know :handgestures-thumbupleft: dont over oak it though LOL

That far back, they used to put hops in their mash as well, it served as an antiseptic to keep mold and bacteria out. I'd imagine they had an effect on the flavor too

Who would have thought anyone cared!!!
Look up some Thomas Jefferson recopies. He reportedly made 12,000 gallons of rye whiskey per year out of Montecello. Booze is what funded the colonies, and made us what we are!
You Aussies have a sorted past. I think history makes us brothers of nutherr mothers. Some went east, and some went west. We all came from the same Sheet stock!
F_ck the bastards Béarla
