Has anyone tried this recipe, substituting in Wyeast 1450? First time using this yeast and plan to do up a 2.5 gallon batch in the next week or so. Heard 1450 is a very low-floc strain, all advice appreciated and welcome.

Rye beers generally don't really get clear, they're a little murky.
1450 will flocc out fine. I've used it multiple times in a different popular rye IPA recipe.
 
I have a batch I brewed a few weeks ago and been kegged for two weeks or so now. It's great and very drinkable, but the more I drink it the more I notice a very yeasty smell and flavor. What could cause the yeastiness? I used US-05, but didn't rehydrate. Could this be why since the OG is a little higher than most of my brews?
 
Made this recipe twice now - once using WY 1450 (Denny's favorite), and just bottled using the OP's recommended Safale 05. The WY 1450 version was delicious! Saved one bottle for a side-by-side when the Safale version is ready in a few weeks. Great recipe, thanks!
 
This is a fantastic recipe!! Thanks Ed! I made it last time with the Chinook hops but I have a lb of nugget and was wondering what the difference would be. Thanks in advance.
 
Thinking of brewing this one again soon; ages ago since I brewed a beer with rye.
I actually weighted out all the grains a few months ago for a 4 beer brew day but started too late and had to postpone this one. :eek:

Anyway I have the grains weighed but want to try something different with the hop combination. I already brewed it 4 times with US-05 once with Amarillo and Simcoe, once with Cluster and Mosaic and once with Citra and Mosaic.
Also one time with Amarillo and Strisselspalt and Belle Saison (9.5% :eek:)
All fantastic beers.

I was thinking this time to try Galaxy and Sorachi Ace.

I also have:
Topaz, Ella, Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe, Columbus, Nugget, Vic Secret, Fuggles, Willamette, EKG, Pearle, Saaz, FF, Magnum, Taurus, Styrian Goldings, Aurora, Tettnang, Chinook, Mittelfrueh, Cascade and a few others.

Any suggestions or the Galaxy/Soarchi would be good?

Thanks!

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.

I've learned a lot from your beer mentoring. Thank you. I've been living in HopHeaven for a couple of years (Oregon-Bend). What would you think about Centennial and Citra for whirlpool and dry hop? I'm awaiting delivery of some 2017 harvest from Puterberg in Washington.
 
Newbie here, just wondering if I used Falconer’s flight instead of the chinook hops would I be pleased with the result?

Only way is to try it and find out. We all have different tastes. But I did a IPA with Millennium and Falconers hops as a tribute to to the late great Han Solo and it was worthy of his name. Lots of grapefruit from the falconers if thats what your going for.
 
I just found this from GF Brewing- “Columbus & Mosaic hops, rich crystal malts and a touch of spicy rye malt build a mildly sweet, tannic base for Mosaic & Amarillo dry hopping."
Any thoughts/suggestions Ed?
