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

 

[niquejim]

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.

 

[MikeFlynn74]

cool thanks!

How did you come with an 8 gallon batch size? 10 gallon kettle?

15 gallon kettle..gotta love the ability to do larger batches

 

[EdWort]

There ya go. Why not 10 gallons.

 

[Poindexter]

Anyone ever dry hop with Chinook?

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.

 

[EdWort]

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.

 

[rbridges01]

There ya go. Why not 10 gallons.

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

 

[niquejim]

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.

 

[Brewpastor]

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.

 

[niquejim]

Looks good to me.

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

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:

 

[s3n8]

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.

 

[EdWort]

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.

Kegged the Rye IPA this morning.

O.G. 1.064
F.G. 1.010
ABV 7.2%

Tastes nice so far. I dropped an ounce of Cascade in a stainless herb ball in the keg.

Next check is in 4 weeks.

I'm looking forward.

I took a couple bottles of my "Rye Not" to the bulk grain pick up on Wednesday and everyone who sampled really enjoyed it.

If it's really good and you don't want to part with any, you could send a bag or two of grain instead

I am working on a Rye IPA recipe right now and I have noticed a lot of these recipes contain a small amount of wheat. What is the reasoning behind this?

Head retention and mouthfeel.
