cweston said:This was my first rye beer--it's an adaptation of my Columbus APA with more/darker crystal and flaked+malted rye. I just tasted the first one last night--it's going to be a winner. It's a deep copper color with a spicy/complex flavor--the malty components really come through with the IBUs a little lower than a typical PA.
Grain:
7 lb. American 2-row
1 lb. American Munich
8 oz. American crystal 120L
4 oz. Belgian CaraMunich
2 oz. Belgian Special B
1.5 lb. Flaked rye
1 lb. Rye malt
Mash: 74% efficiency
mash 60 minutes at 152
1 tsp irish moss at 15 min.
Hops:
.5 oz. Columbus (13% AA, 60 min.)
.5 oz. Columbus (13% AA, 20 min.)
.5 oz. Columbus (13% AA, 10 min.)
.5 oz. Columbus (13% AA, 2 min.)
Yeast: Nottingham
I just made it over easter break and bottled it on friday! I tasted it while bottling. It tasted great. i can't wait to drink it cold next month.
My sp g was 1.035 and ended up at 1.010! Seemed a little light but full of Esters!
