So I just tried this recipe and oh my wow is it drinkable. I wish I would have upped the rye just slightly. You can taste the rye but I was hoping for slightly more.
So I did this recipe back in Early August. So about 3 months ago and kinda forgot about it. I recorded an OG of 1.088. When I checked it last night I was thinking it might be 1.015. Nope it was all the way down to 1.000. I checked it multiple times and it was sure enough 1.000. So I tasted it...
So I edited the recipe quite a bit and I think it will have more of sweeter flavor with the chocolate instead of the black patent. Let me know what you guys think.
So I was thinking of trying to make a rye stout but I won't both the rye flavor to come through as well as the roasted barley. Here is what I got so far:
8# 2row
1.25# chocolate
4# rye
.75 crystal 80
.5oz haltereu 60 min
1oz williamette 30 min
Saf05 for yeast
