Today I bought a 10lb bag of briess rye malt from my LHBS. When I got home and was putting my stuff away I noticed that there seems to be a slight greenish hue to the malt in the bag. I don’t remember rye looking that way. And if it is mold, what about using it? The LHBS is small and I think I bought the last of what they had. I want to brew on Tues…
Malted rye isn’t tan like malted barley, you could say it has a greyish color. You should be able to tell the difference. Mold will be on the surface and rub off.
