Hi all. I've been thinking about my summer brews and decided to switch things up this year by brewing a roggenbier instead of a hefeweizen. (I received such positive reviews for my recent rye pale ale that I want to keep experimenting with this grain.) It seems like it will be a nice twist on the traditional summer refresher.
Understanding that rye is really sticky and that less is more with this style, I've decided to keep it simple. What do you think of the following?
5 lbs. Rye malt
5 lbs. German pils
0.5 lbs. Rice hulls
Mash at 152F for 90 mins.
0.75 oz. Hallertau (60 min.)
0.25 oz. Hallertau (15 min.)
Wyeast 3068
Expected OG: 1.048
Expected FG: 1.012
IBU: 12.1
