Just planning out some upcoming brew sessions and I'm looking for some input. For this beer I'm looking for a pitch black, citrus hop bomb, with a noticeable rye presence. Here's what I've put together so far and would appreciate any suggestions anyone has...
Batch Size: 3 gallon OG: 1.083 FG: 1.023 IBU: 93 SRM: 40
7.0 lbs 2 Row
1.0 lbs Rye
1.0 lbs Vienna
0.5 lbs Carafa III
0.5 lbs Chocolate Rye
0.50 oz Falconer's Flight @ 90 & 60 min
0.25 oz Falconer's Flight @ 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, & 1 min
1.00 oz Falconer's Flight dry hop x 7 days.
Planning on re-pitching part of a yeast cake of US-05
So is the chocolate rye going to give me too much roast flavors for this style? I don't mind roasty flavors, but I don't want to overdo it. The hops should be the focus. I was planning on cold steeping the Carafa III overnight in the fridge.
Also wondering about my choice of hops and hop schedule. Is there a different hop/hops you'd recommend or perhaps change up the schedule a bit? I'm aiming to get a nice hop flavor/aroma and the bitterness to just edge out the maltiness.
