Hi Mike,

I don't know about the effects of malt on rye, but I do know that
there are two types of malt available:

They are called "diastatic" or "non-diastatic" depending upon whether
the (principle) enzyme, diastase, is active (if that is the proper
term) or inactive (again, apologies to the chemists...)

HTH,
