How did this turn out? Sounds interesting.

[Ryanh1801]

Turned out very good. I stole the Idea from a local Micro that does an Hefe with some Rye in it. Im getting to the point where I put rye in a lot of my beers, something that it adds I just love.

on my next wheat I am wanting to put some rye in it. I have never tasted rye in a beer, so the question is should I start out with 1 pound or less? and what does it give the beer

[Ryanh1801]

It dries the beer out some and adds a spicinesses to it. I would go with at least a pound, i think on my next version of this im gonna bump it up some.
