I seem to be brewing all your recipes! Did the pale for an Xmas party, ipa is going into the keg tonight, and just finishing up this one. First time hitting 75% efficiency, yay!!!

So I brewed this beer as my 5th all grain and 1st all grain with my new false bottom in the Tun. After getting terrible efficiencies with a copper manifold in the 40%-50% range on my first 4 brews, I am happy to say that this one hit %80! While I normally do secondary (for clearing) I decided to just bottle after the 10 days in primary using 8oz of Extra Light DME for priming. A cool 6 days later I cracked one open and WOW! This beer is great! It's not even been two weeks since I opened that first bottle and I am already down to the last 6 bottles! This beer was a hit this past weekend at my Father-in-laws Birthday party, I think this will be my first 10 gallon batch here soon! Thanks Ed Wort!

This ones ready for kegging now! Did you dry hop at all? I have a LOT of half opened packages of hops sitting in my freezer. Maybe I'll make a wild dry hop concoction.

Quick question. I'm entering this into Beersmith and need to know if the 2# of Rye is Rye Malt or Flaked Rye. Thanks!

It's rye malt

Thanks Ed...for the quick reply and all the great recipes! Really appreciate it!

Ed,

You ever dry hop this with chinook or anything else? I have a batch three weeks into primary and am wondering if I should add an oz of chinook or something else. Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks for the recipe.

I'm brand new brewer. Chose this as my first batch!

Followed the original post, no substitutions. Did everything I could to mess it up, thought it would be rancid b/c I didn't feel like a properly sterilize or add yeast correctly.

Just got done with primary, going to bottle this weekend (put it in a secondary carboy for a short time for various personal reasons, ie no time to bottle, couldn't wait another day to try it) TURNED OUT PERFECT!!!

Org. Spec. Gravity = 1.0635
11 days in Primary Spec. Gravity = 1.0088

Has fantastic flavor even without proper carbonation, I'd say IBUs are right on par with stated original post, really nice spicy & bitter start with a smooth malty (I like to say nut like) finish. LOVE IT!

Thank you
