Adding Flaked Rye to a NEIPA?

[mls1970]

Has anyone tried adding Flaked Rye along with flaked oats to a New England stlye IPA? Thinking it might be interesting to add a touch of spicyness. Cheers!

I have in the same amount as flaked oats. Added a nice spicy note to it

Not in an IPA, but I'm making Rye PA's, Rye ESB, Rye Belgian Pale. Rye oh rye.

It wasn't especially hazy or juicy but I did brew a solid IPA awhile back that had 9% Flaked Rye and 6% rye malt. The beer was hopped with Chinook, Ekuanot, and HBC 438 in the boil, and dry-hopped twice with the latter two. I felt the herbal almost peppery aroma from 438 worked well with rye.

You guys have any opinion on Legacy hops in a Rye NEIPA? I got a bunch given to me, and when I read spicy, I thought of brewing with rye.

If by legacy hops you mean some of the other non standard NEIPA hop types then yes. Although minus the Rye I have made an excellent NEIPA using Columbus, Simcoe, Chinook, Amarillo and Citra hops. All hops were used in boil and in dry hopping. Cheers!

No, by Lagacy hops I mean this.

I haven't used those either, but do typically enjoy hops with a quasi-noble quality. Not sure how it would be in a NEIPA (I don't brew them often) but it could work well with rye and perhaps some hops on the fruitier side of things.

I'm not sure either, but it's a crazy home brew club competition. Somebody gave our club about 30 pounds of Legacy hops. The only rule is we have to use an entire pound of hops per 5 gallon batch. There aren't too many options for using that much hops in one beer, but with all the late additions in a NEIPA, and the fact that it's the style I brew most often, I figured what the heck. It's got to be ready by the end of January, so not enough time for a big stout or barleywine.

Could be genius, could be a disaster. We'll see in about a month...
