This beer will be coming out of our taps tonight. Can't wait.
1.) don't do it. How do you know it's too much until you try it? I made many test batches of the beer and if less rye made it better, the recipe would have less rye! At least try it as is before you change anything.
2.) Hallertauer
I use Tinseth for my hop calcs. It seems to be the most accurate for full boils and when I've had beers analyzed for IBU they've been very close to what I calced using Tinseth in Promash.
The recipe on the very first page of this thread is accurate for 5 gal., although the stuff in bold at the top mis-estimates the OG and IBU. Just use the rest of it and remember 1.073 and 75 IBU.
denny, or whoever, obviously it's been a few years and the hop yields are different now. How many ibus should i be shooting for this recipe -- ~65 ibus?
Is it ok to do a sparge (2nd running) with this recipe? First page shows single infusion.
Single infusion mash, one batch sparge is what I do. It's not a no sparge recipe.
I used a 5 gallon circular cooler/mash tun with a cpvc manifold for a 3.5 gallon batch. Never had a stuck sparge before so I'm thinking rice hulls might help with the stickier grains. Do you know if rice hulls detract from efficiency?
Nope, they don't.
Glad I have another 5.5 gallons of this in primary! I brewed this on 10/13 and I only have 8 more bottles. Never used this yeast before, I really like it. It took almost a full month to clear, but the beer is WONDERFUL if you're patient. I'm kegging my next batch, and will be dry hopping in keg with .75oz of columbus.
Denny is da man!
Barely bitter? Wow, it should be a lot more than that!
This is one of the few beers I really can't wait to brew again. I had thoughts of doing it this weekend, but I think I'll do it next so I can use Denny's yeast. Safale 05 version was delicious but I want to try it the way it originally intended.
Yes, you're correct on both the batch sparging and the FWH technique. As to underpitching, I'm afraid I can't tell ya because I haven't done it! Sorry....generally underpitching will lead to fewer esters, but I have no personal experience.
