Anyone familiar with this style? Being stuck in Mississippi, aka beer hell, I depend on the clandestine efforts of others and Smokey and the Bandit style beer runs to neighboring states for good/unique beer purchase. Thus I ask.... Anyone familiar with beers of this style. Particularly wondering if anyone's brewed the midwest rye wheat/Roggenbier kit. It looks very good! contents listed below;
Dry Rye Roggenbier w/Wyeast 3056
Dry Rye Roggenbier: Rye is an under utilized ingredient in the brewing world, basically made most popular in the Roggenbiers (rye beers) of Regensburg, Bavaria. Rye lends a uniquely dry and bready character to the glass, and with a weizen backdrop it goes great on a warm day when dry and crisp are in demand. Our ingredients for this recipe include: 6 lbs. Wheat liquid malt extract, 12 oz. Rye Malt, 4 oz. Wheat malt, 6 oz. Caramel 40°L, 4 oz. Flaked rye specialty grains, 2 oz. of hops, priming sugar, muslin bag, and yeast.
