I'm trying to make a reddish rye IPA. I'd like to use some willamette hops. They don't have a high alpha so here's what I came up with. I'd appreciate any feedback from the folks on here.
3 gallons - which seems like a lot except my efficiency sucks, hovers around 60%. If I could get 75% I'd be happy to make this a 4 gallon batch.
9 lbs 2 row
1.5 lbs rye
8 oz Crystal 20
8 oz melanoidin
4 oz Crystal 40
2 oz rye (roasted)
.5 oz Amarillo 60 min
.5 oz centennial 60 min
.5 oz Simcoe 15 min
.5 oz Amarillo 10 min
.5 oz Willamette 5 min
.5 oz Simcoe flameout
.5 oz centennial flameout
Dry hop willamette, and maybe a second variety.
Mash w/16-18 quarts at 152. No mash out.
Yeast: Safale 05 at 64 degrees.
Thoughts?
