Based on Denny Coons Rye IPA with a few modifications. I named it tearjerker because I almost cried when my kettle stopped draining from the hops clogging the strainer on the drain tube. I ended up using a sanitized kitchen strainer and scooping out a bunch of hops until I could get it to move again. 3 hours from kettle to fermenter lol Since this, I have started using a large nylon mesh during the brew to strain the hops out and haven't had a problem since. Now It makes me cry when I taste it because it is so good.
Grain Bill:
25lbs American 2row
5lbs malted rye
1lb flaked wheat
1lb carapils
1lb crystal 20
1lb crystal 60
Hops (whole):
2oz Chinook (12.1) 60min
2oz Willamette (6.4) 60min
3oz Willamette (6.4) 30min
3oz Willamette (6.4) 0min
4oz Willamette (6.4) dry hop
Mash:
Single Infusion / batch sparge
150* Mash (44qts)
165* Sparge
This Beer turned out really great. At first, half the batch was sour, and the other half was great but after a few months of aging, the sourness went away and the sour batch turned into amazingly great beer. I am DEFINITELY going to brew this beer again.
