Notes

Inspiration was to do something dark, in the vein of a Schwarzbier or a German Porter, but featuring rye.

German porter style description:
http://www.weyermann.de/downloads/pdf/German Porter_neu.pdf

Using a variation of Schmitz method (a single step decoction mash) for the decoction step in the mash schedule:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Easy-Decoction-Mashing-Schmitz-process/?ALLSTEPS

I added beta-glucan and protein rests because of the high percentage of rye being used.
