Rye IPA Batch 2
Over the last 2 or 3 years I have had some Rye IPA craft beers. I have wanted to make make one to see what I could do with this style of beer. I do like the spice you get from Rye. I was not sure how Chinook would do in a beer like this as I make an all Chinook IPA and I really do not get a spice taste. I did make a brew day overview video just to show you how I make my small batches for testing you can check that out here.
For my second Rye IPA all grain batch I used the following recipe
2 LBS 1 oz 2-Row
4.2 oz Caramalt
5.5 oz Rye Malt
3.7 oz Flaked Rye
.28 oz Centennial @ 60 mins
.28 oz Centennial @ 5 mins
.28 oz Chinook @ 5 mins
US-05 Yeast was used
.24 oz Centennial Dry Hop 7 Days
.12 oz Chinook Dry Hop 7 Days
.12 oz Sorachi Ace Dry Hop 7 Days
Tasting 1
Color: Light Red Orange
Smell: Hint of floral and citrus. You do get some toasted malt
Taste: Citrus spice upfront with a hint of dill in back.
Overall: Not sure what the Sorachi Ace will do overtime in this beer. Will it play well with the spice you get? I think you get a little more sweet citrus in the after taste of this batch vs batch 1.
Tasting 2
Color: Light Orange. Clear
Smell: Citrus and malt.
Taste: Low spice and bitterness. Some dill from the Sorachi Ace
Overall: Smooth homebrew. The bitterness is building in the after taste. Good spice with some sweet dill in the after taste.
