Ok fella's,question.
Never brewed with rye before.It is making more and more inroads in our beers over here in the UK.
Going to attempt a rye IPA and at some point a black rye IPA.
Now do i use Cara rye or just plain rye in the mix , we can get both over here.
cheers
 
cara rye is a dark colored rye mostly for amber to brown beers
 
I use flaked rye in my Kentucky Common to good effect. Cara Rye is of course caramelized - you can use it in place of crystal. I use plain for mouthfeel and a bit of flavor contribution - think a good rye bread without caraway.
