That'll work. Be interesting to see what you think of the finished product.

I need to get out more.
Bread washes are new to me, apart from my one attempt at jailhouse wine, vile stuff.

Use the trub after your 1st ferment and make
a Rye Voddie also V nice.

You are right about the bread. Must be eaten
by barefoot lesbian librarians.

What brand of rye bread did you use? Apparently the best stuff is really dark like pumpernickel but I can’t find any locally

Cheers
