Ok, so I am thoroughly confused. I tried my hand at my first rye IPA, using a partial mash recipe of my own making. Here's the recipe, btw:
3# Rye LME (70% 2 row, 20% rye, 10% C40)
3# 2row
2.5# Rye
0.5# Caramel 60
0.5# Corn Sugar
3 big handfulls of rice hulls
Mash at 148 for 90 min
1 oz Columbus (70)
1 oz Nugget (70)
0.5 oz Columbus (10)
0.75 oz Nugget (5)
0.75 Citra (5)
Expected OG: 1.057, observed unknown, because of the gelatinous quality of the wort, but somewhere between 1.04 and 1.06
Ideally, I was looking for a super dry, super hoppy rye IPA. I mashed with a brew in a bag method. I finish everything, boil included, and I notice that:
A) The wort is insanely cloudy - opaque, and it separates into a clear layer and an opaque layer with definite large particulate
B) The texture of the wort is gelatinous
C) The wort tastes insanely sweet, no hop presence at all
I pitched anyway and am hoping for the best, but can anyone tell me what the hell happened?
