Just added some Toasted Rye Flakes to my inventory for a future brew. I can't find any info on it nor can I find an expected Yield. Anyone know what the total PPG (100%) would be? I'm thinking Rye Malt is 29 PPG so Flaked Rye should be close 26 - 29 PPG. I'd love some good info rather than a guess though.

Anyone actually use Toasted Rye flakes? It was the only rye available so I took it.

Beer smith has it defaulting at 36 points. So you could assume that it is somewhere in the 30's.

Thanks for that BrewerJ.

Anyone else got any experiences?

Just one quick question. Where did you find roasted rye flakes? I love brewing rye beers but this is one form of rye I had never thought of. I can think of a bunch of stuff to try this in.

I have never seen them either but it would be easy to toast them yourself in the oven. I toast oat all of the time and its really easy.

They are toasted actually not roasted which to me would imply a much darker color. These are darker than the usual flakes but not much and as BrewerJ said they could be toasted in the oven.

I got these from www.homebrew-supplies.ca. No source given. I think they will be a tasty addition. I got 3 pounds to try.

Just a quick tip in my experience toasting or roasting flaked adjuncts is that they tend to go from brown to burnt real easy. I like to put them in a pan under a broiler. I continually shake the pan to keep them from burning. It only takes 3 to five minutes.
