A freshly poured pint of Rabbit Run:

This most recent batch leans towards more banana than clove from the Bavarian wheat yeast. I love this beer.

If this is from the same batch that SWMBO and I sampled, I can vouch for it tasting as good as it looks.

I just brewed your recipe last weekend and man! The sparging process was like the hundred year war....long as hell and tuff. This has to do with two things I believe, 1. My chessy plastic false bottom on my igloo and the ****ty plastic valve that goes with it. And 2. The rye??? I question it wondering why the rye is so hard to mash? One more question, Are the rice hulls supposed to line the false bottom or just go into the overall mash? My O.G. was 1056 though with all the hassle. At transferring it was 1008. I used two diferent yeast , the bav wheat and american. We will see how it turns out. But I am stoked-looks dark and evil...wooohooo

Awesome! Mix those rice hulls in with the grist. Rye doesn't have a husk, so it can glue down in a mash. I hope you used a blowoff tube, this yeast goes gangbusters!

I'm having a pint right now.

It's time to get another batch of Roggenbier working, should be Wednesday if all goes as planned.

Jason, this recipe intrigues me. Any chance of you brining some to home brew club when it is ready?

I love rye, but have yet to find a rye beer that I have truly enjoyed. As much as i like rye, it confuses me.

You mentioned you like rye--what flavor do you associate with rye? Are you thinking of the flavor of rye bread?

I ask because I strongly associate the flavor of caraway seeds with rye (as in rye bread).

I've had a wheat/rye with caraway seeds planned for most of a year... Hopefully I'll finally get it brewed in the next month.

Any word on that Caraway-Rye beer? It sounds delicious
