Looking for a Rye recipe

[Sumo]

November is Rye beer appreciation month at my Brew Club. Can anyone recommend a Rye brew? I am looking to taste a commercial type Rye beer and also to brew one.

I have a deadline of the first Wednesday in Nov to serve the beer.

-Thanks

Are you looking for a beer with a lot of rye?

I made a clone of Terrapin Rye Pale Ale a few months ago. It uses 10% malted rye and came out very close to the commercial version.

Its that an ale yeast? Also can I do 1 week in the primary, 2 in the secondary and then force carb?

 

[Chriso]

As far as commercial beers you can try, He'Brew Bittersweet Lenny's Rye IPA is very, very good, as is Bear Republic's Hop Rod Rye.

Also, if you brew with more than a little bit of rye, remember those rice hulls!

I'm quite partial to the rye beer in my recipe dropdown. %40 rye malt and the rest munich!

 

[DeathBrewer]

rye is an acquired taste. i'd start with a small amount.

i made a great 50% rye beer, but you had to drink it in small quantities.

There's a Rye article in this months BYO with this recipe:

(Or there's the 4Rye recipe in my recipes pull-down.)

Thank you for the great recipes. I will figure out which one I want to make this weekend. I appreciate the input, as always you get great results here. :rockin:

Could I sub flaked rye for the malt? I have 4 lbs of the stuff and I would love to try a rye with some Juniper...

 

[Chriso]

Flaked will get you a very different result. Rye malt has similar starches to base malts (2-row, pils, munich, etc) whereas the Flaked Rye is not malted. It'll add in flavor and in mouthfeel, but it's not going to contribute as much in terms of fermentable sugars, if I understand it correctly.

DC's Rye IPA might be a good recipe to use it in, as it has lots of Pale 2-Row to help convert any starches present. Might need a protein rest? I'm not sure, I'm not any good with step mashing yet.

 

[phissionkorps]

If you want to start with just a bit, I brewed a wit with about 7% rye last night:

[b767fo]

Thanks Chriso. I've looked all over for the differences between flaked and malt. DC's Rye IPA looks pretty good to me. I'll add a protein rest to the mash sked and rice hulls as well. Maybe even try an ounce of dried juniper berries..

 

[Poobah58]

Its that an ale yeast? Also can I do 1 week in the primary, 2 in the secondary and then force carb?

Yes, It's a Hefeweizen yeast. Let mine sit for 4 weeks then kegged. Was probably done in 3 weeks. Not much need to secondary though but YMMV...

 

[AnOldUR]

Here's an interesting article on brewing with rye:

BT - Brewing with Rye

Flaked will get you a very different result . . . . It'll add in flavor and in mouthfeel, but it's not going to contribute as much in terms of fermentable sugars, if I understand it correctly.

Last night I transfer a Rye that was 50% flaked rye. It went from 1.048 to 1.013. I had hoped for a little more attenuation, but the rye must have contributed to the fermentables.

 

[niquejim]

Are you looking for a BIG beer or a more session styled beer.
If the latter try my https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f63/rambler-owl-rye-amber-ale-59032/ which is alot like a small Hop Rod Rye

 

[TexLaw]

If you want something lighter, check out my Argentine Gold in my pull-down. I recently brewed it with a bit more rye, and that was still good. You can substitute just about any floral or spicy hop for the Argentine Cascades, if you don't have those.
