Subject: Flaked rye vs. rye malt


Hello All

Can anyone comment on the flavor and body contribution differences
between flaked rye and rye malt? I'm gearing up to make another rye
pale ale - I've been using flaked rye (my LHBS carries it) but I'm
thinking of trying rye malt, just for yucks. How is it different?

Thanks - JB

D'oh! google search:

"The flaked rye adds more of a grainy flavor than does rye malt. In
the
batches I have brewed, those with rye flakes had a fuller mouthfeel
(similar
to an oatmeal stout), and those brewed with rye malt were similar to
wheat beers."

I find rye malt has a much more upfront spicy taste to it (which I
prefer) than flaked rye.
