Rye Beer

[TheSumOfAllBeers]

Probably not enough rye to bring out its character, I aim for 40% +, the rye character is subtle.
20% would be a minimum, as long as the remaining grist restrained in flavour.

Looks like a very solid pale ale recipe thoufh

Thanks folks, here's the one I ended up putting on, stupidly measured 3kg pale malt instead of 4kg so had to write in the changes. There was also an addition of 5g mosaic at 10mins.

Fermenting away happily now though...

Split it into two batches, one to be dryhopped with amarillo, the other with citra, just to see if there's much difference.

Fingers crossed and bottled today.

Great name!

Couldn't wait. Saw the yeast had cleaned it up so gave one a go.

Definite spicy rye taste, with a tiny bitterness but overwhelmed by this blueberry yoghurt aroma from the Amarillo and mosaic hops. Beautiful head on it too. Can't wait to try it next week when its fully matured, but right now I could happily drink it!  .beerrock
