"Why would I grow triticale over rye?" This is a common question, especially in the Upper Midwest. Hear what insights Racey Padilla, our Small Grains Research Director, has to offer.
I asked ChatGTP if triticale could be used to make beer and it said; Yes, triticale can be used to make beer. Triticale is a hybrid grain derived from wheat and rye, and it combines characteristics of both parent grains. When used in brewing, triticale can impart unique qualities to the beer's flavor profile. **Impact on Beer Flavor:** 1. **Spiciness and Earthiness**: Triticale can contribute a spicy and earthy flavor, similar to rye but often less intense. This can add complexity and depth to the beer. 2. **Maltiness**: The wheat component of triticale can enhance the malt character, contributing to a smooth and slightly sweet profile, somewhat akin to wheat beers. 3. **Body and Mouthfeel**: Triticale can add a fuller body and creamy mouthfeel due to its higher protein content, similar to what wheat does in a beer. **Potential Beer Styles with Triticale:** 1. **Saison or Farmhouse Ale**: The spicy and earthy notes of triticale would complement the fruity and peppery flavors typical of these styles. 2. **Rye Beer**: Using triticale can create a more balanced rye beer, moderating the spiciness with some wheat-like smoothness. 3. **Wheat Beer**: A triticale wheat beer would have a unique twist, combining the refreshing quality of a wheat beer with additional complexity. Overall, using triticale in brewing can result in a beer with a distinctive and intriguing flavor profile, blending the characteristics of wheat and rye in a harmonious way. Brewers looking to experiment with new grains and flavors may find triticale to be an exciting ingredient.

Yes. It will stay green. Prepare for it to get out of hand in the spring without management.
Thanks@@brandonculp7829
