Any thoughts?
... I think pairing it with the rye is pretty brilliant, too...
I made a sahti inspired IPA with about 25% rye...
I used brewer's best dried juniper berries and a took a masher ...
9# 2-row
3.5# rye
.75# 40L
...
1.070 og, read 1.018 when I racked it into secondary....
...1oz chinook@dry hop...
My brew buddy said we're going to drink this one pretty damn fast, he loved the sample so much when we racked to secondary.
Yeah, I had a nice efficiency on the batch, 76%. I just wanted to break the skin on the berries, then threw them in. All the hops and berries were strained out going into the carboy. The plan was to leave the chinook in there for a week, as that's what I've been doing most of my dry hops at. I might let it sit longer.

Or make a juniper tea first and see what potion it makes, before committing them to the wort.
Maybe make a juniper extract and add it at bottling to a beer you think will go well with it.
Then decide to commit.
