I have been wanting to experiment with Rye in different beers. I have made two Rye IPAs, and have enjoyed them well enough, and was thinking of a Rye Stout or Rye Porter, but I have two porters right now and a stout, so I figure I don't really need any more of those. So my sights have turned to a Rye Brown. I wanted to keep the grain bill as simple as possible. I figure chocolate malt is a given for most Browns to make them brown, so I have that in there. I am using a solid dose of crystal to get some sweetness.
I have also been wanting to experiment with Pale Chocolate, but I don't know if that will just muddy things up throwing it in this grain bill, so I think I may just leave it out this time.
