First and foremost I'm pretty new at brewing beer. I've only got 3 brews under my belt. Currently I have a Cream Ale fermenting.
In a few weeks I'm wanting to start my next brew. I'm wanting to do a Rye Ale. I'm thinking of using 6.5 pounds of rye LME and 1 pound of gold Dme. My question is how do I add body to my extract beer? Ive read that some people steep rye malt or flaked malt? I'm not sure what the best to use? I also plan to use some medium crystal malt for color.
Anyone can help me on this?
Also what is the best hope to use in a rye ale?
Thanks!
