Rolling boil for rye? Or simmer?

Quick question and inquiry out there to the people - after soaking your grains and when it's time for the 10 minute boil, do you do an aggressive roiling boil for 10 minutes? Or just a simmer for 10 minutes?

I'm curious what rye folks say too. Just got my first 50lb bag and my first batch I treated like oats cuz I'm so used to it.
Burst grains galore so oat Tek isn't the answer!

I like his TEK from SpitballJedi : https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20048765#20048765
Quote from the link :
Quote:
I don't simmer. I BOIL for about 10 minutes or until the grains look fully hydrated. I can tell they are fully hydrated by the way they look somewhat translucent and the whitish core is gone. A few will still have a bit of a solid core and a few will be popped. A few popped ones are okay. If you get too many, you will end up with a wet starchy mess. Once you see a few are starting to pop, it's time to strain.
I have a bigger pot so it was a bit slower to go from very hot (slow boil) to rolling boil; so I kept checking grains every minute or so and ended up boiling for 8mins on the maximum heat(with about 5 minutes of slower come up). So I would say a total of about 13-14-mins were spent boiling.
The link has some good pictures - and the visual description of cooked grains (no white core visible and a few grains popped here and there).
You don't have to keep them in a strainer but instead while still hot spread them out on a big piece of cardboard or some cloth (old bedsheets are great for this) to cool and lose extra humidity mixing every hour or so until dry from the outside.

I bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer ~ 10 min or so until grains are translucent. Remove any burst grains when straining/cooling.

I have two ways of preparing rye:
1 - rinse thoroughly with hot tap water, bring to a boil, then reduce to very low heat - below a simmer, bubbling every once in a while - for 45 minutes.
2 - rinse thoroughly, barely submerge in tap hot water, pour boiling water on top and cover for ~5 hours.
Both result in few enough burst grains for me to not feel the need to remove them when straining/drying.
