I'm looking to make a Rye IPA

Ed, I would suggest tettnanger over the cascade. I find cascade to citrusy for the rye. Depends on your tastes I guess.

I've been very happy with Liberty and Rye. Nice little spicy combo they make!

Here what I did for my last batch. Only changes I would make for my next batch is up the Rye to 4lbs and not dry hop for 6weeks.

Yeah, any spicey hops work great.

OK, how does this look. It's a modifed version of Denny Conn's Rye IPA. Thanks to TastyBrew.com recipe calculator. That's one cool tool.



I'm going to use Safale -05 yeast with it so I think it will finish below 1.019.

I would be tempted to drop the crystal by a lot. I used .5 pounds in mine and I thought it was way to much. Next time I do a rye IPA im gonna drop it to .25 pounds.I also did a 1-1 on OG-IBU. And thought it needed more bitterness. But I might just be an over the top hop head.

It is bitter and will need some time, but it tastes good

I wouldn't bother with the carapils. The rye gives it mouthfeel and head.

I dont' know if it's going to be any good, but here's what I did today.

BCB Rye IPA

10# 2 Row Pils
2# Rye
2# Vienna
12 oz. Crystal 60L
8 oz. Flaked Barley

1 oz. Tettnanger FWH 4.4%
1 oz. Chinook 60 min 12%
0.5 oz. Chinook 30 min 12%
0.5 oz. Chinook 5 min 12%

Mashed in at 154 degrees for 70 minutes. Ran off 7 gallons and boiled for 90 minutes. It's chilling right now. I'm going to whirlpool it let it sit and rack clear wort off to the fermenter. Going with hydrated Safale -05.

I think this will be a big beer that will take some aging.

Looks like it's going to be pretty tasty in 6-8 weeks maybe a little longer

It came in at 1.064. Not bad. It should finish out at 6.9% abv.

If you ever draw my name in a swap please send me one (or two) of those, damn the torpedoes. Sounds good to me.

It's fermenting happily at 62 degrees this morning. I'm starting to ferment all my beers in the low 60s for a cleaner beer. I'll let this puppy for for a couple weeks before crash cooling.

The hydrometer jar tasted good, so I hope that is a good indicator. I'll dry hop in the keg.

It's now been 4 days after pitching the yeast and the air lock is still bubbling away regularly. I'm guessing the low fermentation temp of 62 degrees has something to do with this.

Nottingham would have finished in 36 hours max at 68 degrees, but I used Safale -05 for this batch.

I'm letting it go two weeks before turning the temp down to crash cool.

I'll be back in town in May/June time frame. It should be ready for a tasting then. I'll let you know when I get the dates confirmed. I'll bring, my IPA, Porter, Haus, & Rye with me. I'll make sure I don't have too early a flight out the next day too. :cross:

Hopefully HarvInSTL can get some stuff bottled & aged for the O'Fallon HBT Meetup.

Mine is still bubblin away after 4 days @60 and will get some Jack Daniels barrel wood chips for a week or two in secondary.
You will get this.

It is bitter and will need some time, but it tastes good

*******************************************************
I used cara-aroma not Begian Aromatic so it is a bit darker( think American Amber/Brown) with less aroma and more malt and raisin/plum flavor

Looks good to me.

I recon a Rye IP needs 3-4 months minimum to be taste-worthy.

When I said not right, I meant not right

If you look at the difference in color and flavor between Aromatic and cara-aroma you will see that it's not a RyePA anymore. If it's as good as my Rambler Owl(which I based this recipe on, just bigger), I may call it "Rye-B-Big Brown Owl" .

It should be something like Hop Rod Rye.

Yeah, but I'll try one at 2 just in case

hey what wouldbe good to get a nice deep red color?

Anyone ever dry hop with Chinook?

Ed - THis is what I used for a 8 gallon batch:

1.65 oz Cascade [6.80 %] (45 min) Hops 19.6 IBU

Yeah, I like Cascade better but since I'm getting low on that I'll be doing Chinook soon.

That's what I usually use 1-2 oz of Roasted for. If you have it Cara-red will give a good red color also.

cool thanks!

Yup. twice. I did a Haus Pale Ale clone that I bittered with Saaz and aroma'd witrh Chinook, still the best beer I ever made. See the home page ofr Firestone-Walker pale ale.

My first lager was a super heavy weight Budweiser clone, 1.092 OG, also aroma'd with Chinook at flameout. It is, rrrrrp, pretty darn good.

Cool. I picked up a couple more Herb Balls at Austin Homebrew Supply, so I'll drop an ounce of Chinook in it when I keg it.

It was my first AG batch and I didn't want to deal with an even larger grain bill.

Ed, how is yours doing? Mine is still bubbling every 2-3 seconds and this is day 9. I've slowly raised the temps into the mid 60's over the past few days so I hope it will finish sometime.

EdWort said:

OK, Here's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to make a Haus Rye by adding 2# of malted rye to my Haus Ale grain bill and add 1 oz. of Cascade as dry hopped and the first oz. as FWH.

That sounds like a great idea. You know your haus ale and so the additions/changes will be easy to detect and therefore recognize what they have contributed.

I transferred to secondary today 1.072-1.016 and after 12 days it is still bitter but the taste is great. I added 2oz of the Jack Daniels chips and I'll check it every week or so til it mellows a bit then I'll bottle.

Damn the sample tasted great:rockin:

I am planning an extract rye IPA as my next (5th) batch...

7.5 lbs Pale LME
1 lb Amber DME
1 lb Crystal 120
1 lb Flaked Rye

Steep Crystal and Rye at 155 for 30 - 60 minutes

Havent 100% decided on the hop schedule yet, but I plan on using 2oz Columbus and 2oz Cascade. Was thinking:

1oz Columbus @ 60
1oz Columbus @ 20
1oz Cascade @ 10
1oz Cascade @ 1

Any thoughts on the above? Feedback appreciated.

I brewed up the above recipe today, came up a little light on the OG (1.054) because I boiled 7 gallons and I guess I didnt lose as much during the nice weather. I racked almost 6 gallons and left 3/4 of a gallon of wort and trub at the bottom of the kettle.

Also took 30 minutes to get to pitching temps. I love the warm weather, but might have to hang up the carboy for a while after this one. Temps in the fermentarium (basement) are in the low 70s, but I put the carboy on the concrete floor as a bit of a heatsink.
