Hello!
I'm interested in brewing a Roggenbier next weekend but I haven't had a lot of commercial samples. I fell in love with the style while working at a local brew pub many years ago. I remember the yeast being the highlight of the beer... lots of banana and clove going on there. I've done some reading up in BYO and a few other websites and I came up with the below recipe. Tear it apart!
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Weihenstephan Weizen Wyeast 3068 (this may change due to LHBS availability)
Yeast Starter: no
Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5
Original Gravity: 1.052
Final Gravity: 1.013
IBU: 14
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 16 SRM
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 2-3 weeks @ 64-68
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): None
Malt Bill
5.5 lb Vienna
4.0 lb Rye
1.0 lb Caramel/Crystal 60L
0.5 lb Rice Hulls
0.25 lb Melanoidin (not super familiar with this malt. I read I could use it to make up for not doing a decoction mash but no idea how much to use.)
0.25 lb Carafa I
Hops
0.5 oz Hallertau 60 min
0.5 oz Tettnanger 60 min
Thanks!
