Bells smitten golden rye ale

Looking for a partial mash recipe for bells smitten golden rye ale. Searched the forums and could not find one.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Home Brew mobile app

 

Old thread but figured I'd give some info I dug up last year. An email from the bells general store:

Use around 25% rye malt – I like malted rye but flaked rye should do the trick as well.

Add a little munich for body and the remainder is base malt.

Cascade is the dominant hop – a bittering addition, another around 15 minutes and another at flameout. Dry hop cold with Cascade as well.



I hope that’s helpful for you. Let me know how it turns out.

Haven't tried it yet but will some day. Smitten is one of my favorite beers!

 

Thanks,
I love this beer and now i have a great place to start my clone efforts.

 

How about this for a partial mash recipe:

2.5 lb Rye Malt
.75 lb Munich 10L
6.3 lb Pale extract

1oz Cascade @60min
1oz Cascade @15min
1oz Cascade Dry hop

Yeast: Safale 5

OG: 1.059
26.5 IBUs
8.3 SRM

 

If a typical BU:GU value for APA is 0.7, for a 1.060 beer shouldn't the IBU be around 40-42?

I'm drinking it right now and it tastes higher than 26 IBU.
