Rye ale

[cajunbrewer14]

I’m looking to do a simple Rye ale with rye extract that’s 70% 2 row, 20% rye, 10% caramel malt

It will be a 1.5 gallon batch. I plan to us US-05.
I don’t want it too hoppy. What would be a good hop to add?

For mine, I bitter with magnum, then for flavoring and aroma I use any combination of chinook, Amarillo, Columbus, or citra depending on what I have on hand.

I like the Magnum idea. Other German varieties also are great in a rye beer including Hallertau, Tettnang, or American equivalents like Mt. Hood, Crystal, etc.

I'll be brewing one soon; maybe this weekend. (I just started another thread about how much rye to use) Going to use Mount Hood hops. Or maybe Goldings for bittering because I have a lot of it, and Mount Hood at 15 minutes for flavor and a little aroma. Also don't want it too hoppy because I want the rye and the yeast to shine.

Last year I did a partial mash Roggenbier with the Rye LME and rye malt. I used Tettnag hops. Came out great got a Silver. But I’d like this one to be more like a lager. Just want a simple easy drinking rye ale that isn’t super bready
