BCB Rye IPA

This is a tasty, yet big beer at 7.2% abv. The flaked barley gives it incredible head retention and a cascading effect like a nitrogen pour.

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

1 oz. Tettnanger FWH 4.4% (First Wort Hopped)
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.

Looks awesome! I will be brewing this. Any suitable substitutions for the tettnanger??

Saaz would work. You can get Tettnanger at Northern Brewer BTW.

Don't forget the 8 ounces of Flaked Barley for out of this world head.

This looks excellent, and i've got a 1/2 lb of Chinook just waiting for some lovin'. What do you think about Willamette instead of the Tettnanger? Obviously a different flavor profile, but i think it could fly.

EdWort · Oct 1, 2008

BYO Mag suggest the following sub for Tettnanger.

What would you think of some Simco in place of the Chinook. I just got 2 OZS of 11.6%AA

Sure, it would work out fine IMHO.

It depends on what you think of Simcoe, I think the aroma and taste is like cat pee( I'm serious)
I do not like Simcoe and it will change the recipe quite a bit if you are susceptible to those flavors
I've had this beer and liked it but I would not with Simcoe

Full Throttle · Oct 12, 2008

For sure Simco is a different taste, but I see lots of clones of the dogfish 60 miniute IPA using it. I was going to try one of those but I also wanted to do one with Rye, then I saw this recipie and figured it may be the right one for me. I will try it and see how it comes out. Results will be posted

That's the thing about homebrewing, ya never know till you try.

That's why I keep my first time batches to 5 gallons.

How serious? you've tasted cat piss before?

To me it smells so much like cat pee that that is the only taste I perceive in this beer.
Much the same as I can't be in the same room with certain perfumes, (causes unbelievable headaches ) I am sensitive to certain aromas.

When I tried Weyerbachers Double Simcoe IPA I could not name the taste and odor I was detecting, although I did know that I did not like it. While reading on another site (a day or so after trying the beer) someone mentioned making an IPA with all Simcoe and most of his homebrew club thought it was great, and the rest thought it smelled catty. I suddenly realized what the smell was that I perceived from the beer

Looks amazing. I love rye whiskey and IPA's but never have had a rye beer. Any good commercial examples?

What is the advantage of pilsner malt vs plain 2-row?

carl spakler · Nov 10, 2008

If I were to do a PM of this, my grain limit is ~5-6 lbs, would this work:

1# 2 Row
1.5# Rye
1.5# Vienna
.75 lbs Crystal 60L
.5 lbs Flaked Barley

Thanks.

+DME to make up OG

None really, I just had an open 55# sack of it and needed to use it.

Sure, but me sure to do a full boil and use RO water to top off your boil kettle to your Pre boil amount before you add your DME.

I can't do a full boil as I don't have a large enough pot. Will this be an issue?

My plan *was* to mash 1.25q/lb, then sparge ~2 gallons to boil ~3. Are you saying I need to do a full 5 gallon boil for some reason?

TIA.

tranceamerica · Dec 8, 2008

what is 'first wort hopped'? can someone describe this process to me?

mysteryberto · Dec 8, 2008

While you're draining your first runnings from your mash tun into your boil pot have the first wort hops in the pot.

then you leave them in there through the boil, correct?

Yep, correct.

Did anyone ever end up trying to brew this with Simcoe? The company I order from does not have Chinook but has a good price on Simcoe.

Talloak · Jan 8, 2009

I am brewing this as my first stove top all grain this weekend. Going to have to go with some czech saaz in place of the tettanger.

Talloak · Jan 8, 2009

I just wanted to double check this. You used a dry yeast (rehydrated) with this recipe? No starter? How many packets did you pitch?

EdWort · Jan 8, 2009

No starter needed with the dry yeast for this beer. Just hydrate it.

jmo88 · Jan 31, 2009

I am going to do this recipe tomorrow. I picked up an ounce of cascades instead of the tettnang. I didn't realize until I came home that they were 7.3AA. I assumed it was about 4.5AA - 5AA. Anyway, I'm wondering if this is too strong of a candidate for the FWH. I've never experimented with FWH before so I am unsure what to expect in that regards.

ftlstrings · Feb 4, 2009

this recipe looks great! I'll be trying this one as soon as i can. Now I just need one more beer to put on tap in the new bar.....

tranceamerica · Feb 5, 2009

this is an amazing beer!!! I did it with perle and columbus. what an amazing brew - malty, complex, hoppy....wow.

wildwest450 · Feb 6, 2009

Yup, this beer rocks! It came in at 7% so it's been sitting for three months. First glass last night was awesome. Next time I may not do the FWH, this beer may actually be to smooth.

nowise · Feb 8, 2009

I bottled this recipe (brewed exactly to specifications, no experimenting) yesterday and it turned out delicious! I could drink this right now even without carbonation, but I am trying to be strong! I know it will get even better in the next few weeks. Prost! :mug:
