Sorry to hear that.  Did you spread it out, cool and sprinkle with gypsum before loading into jars?

I bring my batches up to boil real slow.  I don't know that it makes any difference, though.

You might want to try running a small batch again except soaking it overnight before cooking.

What is your usual method of hydration?  I usually heat my grains up to a simmer or when you can see steam rising from it and keep it just under a boil for 25 mins.  That is for wbs.  It will be interesting learning to do rye berries after being a long time WBS user.

A couple of links to others who do the same:
Rye grain prep
How do you do grains in bulk

I did find where RR suggests soaking for just that reason!

Another thread on soaking before boiling with a fairly decent explanation.

No big deal just a jar of grain!  I didn't figure I'd get it right the first try with millet that's why I only did 1 jar.  I didn't do gypsum, the grain was already pretty much destroyed at that point so I didn't want to waste any more supplies.  I may try an overnight soak next time, then just a light simmer for a few min.  Also after the 10 min. I wasn't left with much water so that could explain the starchiness.  I think if I use a lot more water, more of the starches will wash away when I strain instead of staying stuck on the grain.

I use that exact method (with overnight soak first) for WBS, basically the same for rye except a little longer, maybe up to 40 min.  Although I've forgotten about it and had it rapidly boiling for 20 minutes and it did fine.  Kinda hard to mess up rye as long as you let it steam dry enough so it's not wet.
