American Pale Ale Sunshine Rye Pale Ale

[mkyl428]

You should probably give us a heads up on that saison as well.

Haha sure,
5gal

OG 1.054 FG 1.002

6LB Belgian Pils
2Lb Rye malt
1LB Vienna

1LB Table Sugar (boil 5min)

Mashed @ 148

.5oz magnum 12.4%aa @ 60min
1oz Spalt 5.2%aa @ 5min

Belle Saison Yeast

I will have to look at my notes to see what time in the boil I added the sugar on that saison, likely around the last 10-15 min

Yeah it's pretty standard for sugar and honey additions anywhere from 10- flame out it seems. At least 20% rye seems like a lot, are you trying to make it super noticeable?

I looked it was last 5 min of the boil also I edited the post to reflect that

Lol I like rye what can I say?

This is the first run with the saison recipe & I may tweak it, maybe....I usually use somewhere around 20% when i use rye i really like to taste that rye character, also i BIAB so stuck sparge is no issue, this pale ale uses around 20% rye as well.

I just bottled the saison tonight actually, hydo sample tasted fantastic!

 

[drunkEnough4U]

I'm looking forward to seeing how that saison turns out.

Brewed this exact recipe a month ago. Finally kill another keg so I could start this one. This is one of my favorite PAs. Very tasty and popular among family and friends. Thanks!

No problem! That looks awesome, glad you enjoyed it

Been busy, just poured one of the saisons & remembered to post about it.

It's pretty good fruity with just a hint of saison funk and a nice spicyness from the rye.

I like it over all I will probably tweak it just a bit more though


Also I just bottled another batch of the Sunshine PA man I love this stuff!

looks good

I'm going to try out a similar version of this recipe this weekend. I'm shooting for a slightly lower abv, but I plan on eliminating the crystal malt, and switching out some of the rye for flaked rye. Also, I'm going to add more hop when I get down to around 180 and whirlpool for 20 minutes. I'm going for a straw colored beer that is exploding in galaxy aroma. + I love rye. I'll let you know how it turns out

 

[singybrue]

Here's my next run at this beer. 2.5 gallon batch.
My estimated efficiency was too high, so OG ended up 1.043. I subbed red wheat cause that's what I had.
I used Denny's Favorite 50 yeast.
I subbed in southern hemisphere hops, because I had them and needed to use them. Bittered with Topaz, with Kohatu and Galaxy at flame out and dry hop.
Very tasty! The hops play well together along with your fabulous base beer.
This recipe has earned a spot in the rotation as a 5 gallon batch(high praise, indeed! )
Love the orange color of this beer!

Nice!!! looking good for sure! Yeah I am a big fan of the orange color as well not to mention the flavor, this is fast becoming one of my favorite recipes, I am considering doing a couple variations keeping the grain bill and the bittering hops the same, but trying out some different hops for the hopstand. I think Citra would do well here, also considering maybe some Falconers Flight.




I have a batch of the Sunshine that is just finishing bottle conditioning right now I plan to take and enter in the Tulsa Fair in a couple of weeks, very interested to see how it does! I wish it wasn't going to be 4 weeks in the bottle at judging time, but I didn't have time to make a fresher batch prior to the competition. I have it in the American Ale Category, which sounds right to me, but this beer does have some significant rye character so maybe I should have put it in the specialty category IDK I guess I will find out!

 

[mkyl428]

Well I finally got my score sheet back from the Tulsa fair, as I suspected I should have put it in the specialty ale catagory, I got dinged because the rye was out of style for an American PA, however I still managed to score a 35 and win 2nd place, so there is that! Most of what I got counted off on was the rye...

Some comments were

"Very enjoyable to drink, great hops, moderate bitterness. Fairly well balanced."

"Very nice dominant hop aroma- citrus, low malt aroma."

"Balance to the full hop flavor, which continues to the dry finish."

"Very tasty beer."

I've been looking for a Rye Pale Ale recipe for a while and came across this one. I just ordered the ingredients today to do a slightly modified version.

• 5# Pale Malt
• 2# Rye Malt
• 0.75# Crystal 60
• 0.5# Pale Wheat
• 0.5# Vienna
  - Mash @ 153°F for 60 min
  
  
• 0.5 oz Magnum @60
• 0.75 oz Columbus @Flame Out - 20 Minute Hopstand
• 0.75 oz Cascade @Flame Out - 20 Minute Hopstand
• 2 oz Citra - Dry Hop for 7 Days after Primary Fermentation
  
  Safale US-05 @ 63° for 14 days

I'm looking forward to drinking this in the summer months out on our patio after a long day of work. Any opinion on letting it sit at room temp to condition for longer periods vs tossing it all into the fridge once the desired carbonation level has been achieved?

I like to get all my hoppy beers into the fridge as soon as possible to hold on to freshness. Hops fade fast I usually notice them fading in this beer as I am finishing the batch.

Good luck! Hope you enjoy your beer, let us know how it turns out! I'll be brewing up a batch of this before too long myself..

Brewed a version of this Saturday morning. All out of magnum, bittered with some Amarillo. Out of Vienna, so I subbed with Munich. 1 oz of Galaxy @ flameout with 2 oz hopstand while whirlpooling from 170*-160* than quick chill.

Pitched a fresh slurry of S-04. Polished off my Galaxy hops - either going to order some more or dry hop with Centennial or Centennial/Cascade?

 

[NothingRhymesWithCurtiss]

Just brewed my updated version (above) and racked it into the fermentor about an hour ago.

I forgot to pick up a fresh pack S-05 the last time I was at the LHBS and ended up pitching a slurry of S-05/BRY-97. The slurry mix has worked out for me in the past, so I've got my fingers crossed that it works for this batch as well.

I'll post pictures once it's ready.

Thanks.

 

[bkreaume]

Rack this in the keg 3 days ago. Loving it. Tasting a good amount of grapefruit. Not bitter. Should be a hit for the party next week. Thank for the recipe.

 

[mkyl428]

Just finished brewing a batch of this yesterday! Hadn't brewed since January, felt great to get back in the game with a recipe I love...

Forgot to take any pics... perhaps I will when I keg it... Can't wait!

Love that everyone is enjoying this recipe so much!

Cheers

 

[NothingRhymesWithCurtiss]

Here's a pic of my version (recipe in thread above).

I'm very happy with this one. Thanks to Mykl428 for such a great recipe!

I'll be brewing again, but plan on using 100% Citra for the FO additions and Dry Hop, with Magnum for bittering, and will be following Mykl428's quantities.

Thanks!

Looks great! I have been meaning to brew this with citra, should be good! keep us posted


I just dry hopped a batch of this last night I'm getting excited

 

[singybrue]

I brewed up a batch of this last weekend, as it has been a few months since the last batch, which is too long to go without this beer!
I used Citra for the flameout hops on this batch, and I'm trying to decide what to throw in for the dryhop.
I've got Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, Chinook, Columbus, Centennial, Amarillo, Apollo, Simcoe, Equinox, Eureka, Zythos
Someone help me decide!

MMMmmmmm I love Galaxy of course, but I also love the combo of Citra and Amarillo.... That's my vote

Too late! I threw in an ounce of Citra and an ounce of Galaxy last night!
Thanks for the input, though. I might try that combo next time.

That sounds pretty tasty too!

Let us know how she turns out!

 

[Fordzilla]

The 2 closest homebrew shops to me don't have Galaxy. I may be able to check the other shops, but they're a bit of a drive.

I have Citra hops, but I just kegged a Citra/Mosaic DIPA so I don't want to have 2 Citra beers on.

What hops have others tried with this beer that worked well? I was thinking maybe Simcoe/Amarillo?

I used Columbus, Cascade and Citra in mine and I was pretty happy with it.

I think Simcoe and Amarillo could do well together. One thing that I would consider is looking at the AAs for each bag of hops, and adjust accordingly so that you've got roughly the same IBUs coming from the late additions of Simcoe and Amarillo. I've had Amarillo that was pretty low, and while it's a late addition, Simcoe could overpower it.

For the dry hop, I would toss in 1 ounce each.

 

[Fordzilla]

I decided to go with Cascade/Amarillo/Simcoe. I'm replacing each 2 oz Galaxy addition with a 3 oz addition of that combo.

I don't think IBUs will be an issue since they're whirlpool/dry hop only. The original recipe gets no IBUs from Galaxy.

 

[mkyl428]

Always a favorite

 

[NothingRhymesWithCurtiss]

I'll be re-brewing my modded version in a few weeks and want to use up some of the hops that I have on hand.

I have 2oz each of Centennial, Citra, El Dorado, Mosaic, and Nugget, and would appreciate your recommendations. I will be using 30ml Hopshot Extract for bittering.

Recipe

5 Gallons
OG Est 1.051
FG Est 1.013
50 IBUs (estimate)

● 6lb 2 Row
● 2lb Rye Malt
● 0.75lb Crystal 60l
● 0.50lb Munich Light
● 0.50lb Pale Wheat
Mash @ 154° F

● 30ml Hopshot @ 60 (30 IBUs)
● 2oz (insert hops here) @ Flameout Out - 20 minute steep before chilling
● 2oz (insert hops here) @ Dryhop - 5 Days

WLP007 Slurry - 10 Days at 64°

Any recommendations/feedback are appreciated.

Thanks!
