Ingredients:

0.50 oz Chinook [11.70 %] (60 min) (First Wort HoHops 19.7 IBU
1.00 oz Glacier [5.60 %] (15 min) Hops 8.5 IBU

0.50 oz Chinook [11.70 %] (5 min) Hops 3.6 IBU

4.00 gm Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) (Mash 60.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs American Ale II (Wyeast Labs #1272) Yeast-Ale
In 3 years of homebrewing, I have never wanted to post one of my recipes...until now. I read that Wyeast 1272 really brings out the best in rye and everybody who has used it is right. The rye character in this beer is just about perfect. I used small amounts of Columbus and Chinook and a more generous helping of Glacier to really emphasize spice and herb... the result is a VERY drinkable rye beer at only 4.5% with much of the hop flavor of a RyePA.
I've got more information on brew day and tasting notes over at my blog... I tried this with a deep fried pork belly the other night. Fantastic. Highly recommend.
