I really wanted to brew a BIG all-grain pale ale and to incorporate some vienna into the mash. My LHBS was out, so on brew day I decided to throw in a pound of Rye instead. I was also short on 2-row so I added 2 lbs. of light extract at boil. I have no idea if this is frowned upon/what would happen, I just kinda did it!
Now I dont really know how to classify this beer.
Has anyone added rye to their IPAs?
What does it add to the beer?
Is adding extract to an all-grain at boil acceptable?
2.00 lb Extra Light Dry Extract
10.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row)
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L
1.00 lb Rye Malt
1.00 oz Spalter (60 min)
1.00 oz Williamette (60 min)
0.50 oz Cascade (45)
0.50 oz Cascade (30)
0.50 oz Cascade (15)
0.50 oz Cascade (5)
California Ale (White Labs #WLP001)
Ended up with an OG of ~1.072 so I've accomplished the ABV I wanted if everything goes to plan. Should be in a keg in about a month. Dont know what to expect but my fingers are crossed!
