Alan Batchelor Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hi All, Winging it with an attempt at a RYE IPA. Briess RYE LMA and Safale-04 yeast. Will dry hop with small amount of Cascade 4 or 5 days in. At EOF 25g of Amarillo and Cascade each. Decided to use the whole can rather than 1/2. Added a little extra water, around 11l. 🤞  ~Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This is no major concern) cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Sazerac Rye IPA too and that was great . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Batchelor Posted October 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Will keep you all informed. I expect a little leakage due to the extra water and full can rather than 1/2. The briess site does not say how much it makes. 1/2 seemed to look good when creating my first couple of brews. But looking at this site https://brewferm.com/collections/beer-kits it states 3.3lbs makes 12l. So I am assuming the Briess are much the same. By the way some great looking kits on the Brewferm site 🙂 Any fingers crossed not to much leakage and a great beer comes out in the end.. ~Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hey Alan, How did this brew go. Would be very keen to try to reproduce if you had great results. I think finding the brew kit may be the hardest part lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Batchelor Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 @paul84 it was ok but not great when I first tried after a Month. I think I over hopped the Citra. It’s 3 months tomorrow and I am planning cracking one today or tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted over next 24 hours  Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Batchelor Posted January 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 @Paul84 so cracked the Rye after 60 days. Some nice carbonation but a tad citrusy. I think I put too much Citra but a very pleasant brew and getting better. This beer is better suited to drink not ice cold, 45f (7c) seems much better. Not sure if you have tried any Rodenback biers but very similar. Tad bitter with a hint of sour (lot of Citra I think). Excuse the crap pour. Some of my beers have been a tad under carbonated. A quick pour gives a nice head. This is perfectly carbonated. Still a reasonable head retention after 5 mins.. Cheers Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly small Brewart community in New England but I'm starting up with a Beerdroid in Rhode Island. All the best, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
