Awesome, that's exactly what I'm looking for, gonna brew this up tomorrow. I have been reading that the rye can get "sticky", I've been told to add about 2% rice hulls to your grain bill to prevent any "sticking". Anyone notice that at all?

I have never used rice hulls in my life. I wouldn't worry about it. I grind very fine too.

This is an excellent, "pour a cold mug and quench your thirst" type of ale.

Now that I think about it....a pound of flaked oats would be good in this one.

Hearing that just made my mouth water...
I'm getting my stuff together and brewing this tonight!

I ran across this after looking for a good rye beer. Here's the thing, I'm new to brewing in general and All-Grain in specific (only brewed 2 batches so far). I've never dry hopped and don't really understand what it does to the beer as far as flavour/bitterness...so, if I brewed this but omitted the dry-hop (so, just did the boiled hops), how do you think it would end up tasting?

Dry hopping only adds aroma, no flavor or bitterness. However extended dryhopping can add a grassy flavor that most people don't like.

Question about the Hops schedule...I put the recipe into Brewtarget and it listed the recipe as "Way Hoppy" with IBU over 100, all based on the Magnum Hops in a 5 Gal batch. That's a little higher than the recipe-listed IBU of 35. So.....what am I inputing wrong. I really want to avoid having the hops overpower the Rye taste. Adjusting the Magnum to 1/4 oz resulted in it saying it was "Balanced" with an IBU of 46.

Just to mention too, I couldn't get the Victory grains at my LHBS, so I just added an extra 1/2 lb of 2-row.

Thoughts?

I'm going to try out your grain bill tomorrow for a brew I've been planning. I finally got some Nelson sauvin to try for the first time and wanted to make a rye pale or IPA. I agree with your thought about not hiding the rye behind too much roasted or caramel malts. I love Alpine's nelson IPA which is a beautiful light golden (and which I only get to drink when I can bribe my brother to drive some up from down south).

BTW, was that wyeast 1098 or 1968 you were using? Don't see a 1068 listed on the site. I'm going with US-05 but just curious.

sorry, it was 1968. ESB yeast.

I'm mashing this recipe as I type. I can't wait to see how this turns out. I'm stoked to make my first rye beer.

I am glad to see so much interest in this recipe. I am on roughly my 100th batch of all grain beer, and the trend I see over time, is that my recipes are much, much simpler now than in the beggining. Simple recipes, executed properly make fantastic beer.
