Many thanks to Deroux for posting the BYO-published clone recipe for Bear Republic's Hop Rod Rye. We went for something very similar, but even a bit bigger. Ths was definitely the highest gravity batch we've done in a while, and what a blast it was to brew!
Here's what we did (12 gallon batch):
18 lbs - 2-row malt
6.5 lbs rye malt
1 lb Flaked Wheat
3 lbs Munich malt
1.25 lbs Cara-Pils malt
1.25 lbs Wheat malt
3.5 oz Black Patent
3 lbs amber candi/invert sugar
2.25 oz Columbus(12.2%) - 60 minutes
3 oz Columbus(12.2%) - 40 minutes
2 oz. Centennial(7%) - 30 minutes
1 oz. Centennial(7%) - 10 minutes
We'll be dry-hopping in the secondary with:
1.5 oz Amarillo
2 oz. Centennial
So, that'a a lot of hops and malt. I don't have a hydrometer, but the numbers calculated for this batch were:
OG - 1.086
IBUs - 81.3
SRM - 16
It should end up being over 8% alcohol. A mack truck of a beer if ever there was one. It's fermenting like mad this morning. We used ahalf-gallon starter made 48 hours in advance with White Labs California V.
I'm pretty darn excited about this one
