"I don't recall the upper end/ percentage of the grist that should be high
in glucans, like the rye, but think that starting out, I would drop the
amount of rye, then see how high I can push it and still get it clear?"
Others who were at the first MCAB in Houston may recall the [nearly?] 100%
rye beer. It was very interesting. My recollection was of something
akin to 10W20. Don't recall who made it; Exxon or Sunoco?

Subject: Re: Proteolytmalz
Sorry I can't shed any enlightenment on "Proteolytmalz" but after listening
to John Palmer's presentation on residual alkalinity at the inaugural ANHC
(Australian National Homebrew Conference ) I for one would be very
interested in anything A. J. can add to John Palmer's recent additions to
How to brew chapter 15.3.
I think getting my head around residual alkalinity may be the key to
improving the consistency of my brewing.
Regards,
Grant Stott
p.s. I have tried to change my settings so that this gets thru (try number
2)

Subject: NY Times: Beer in Italy
Interesting article about craft brewing in Italy (who'd of guessed -- I think
of Italy as Peroni and Moretti). As a homebrewer, I wonder if we'll see
new styles emerge from places like Italy that we'll be trying to brew
at home twenty years from now.
