I've been working on a Juniper Rye Pale Ale this week and think I have my ingredients nailed down for my first attempt. Let me know what you guys think and if there are any things that definitely need to be changed before brew day. Thanks in advance.
9 lbs 2-row malt
2 lbs rye malt
1 lb Vienna malt
.5 lb Crystal 60 L
4 oz Flaked Barley (for head retention)
.75 oz Magnum 10.1% aa for 60 min
1 oz Cascade 6.1% aa for 15 min
1 tsp Irish Moss for 15 min
1 oz crushed, dried Juniper berries for 15 min
1 oz Cascade 6.1% aa at flameout
figured I'd use either US-05, S-04, or Wyeast Irish Ale 1084 but haven't decided yet.
Beertools Pro is giving me a OG of 1.061 which is a tad bit high for an APA style but my efficiency has been between 66% and 75% lately so I figure going a bit high can't hurt.
