Rye IPA Batch 5 Mosaic Chinook Citra
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 fifth Rye IPA all grain batch I used the following recipe
2 LBS 1 oz 2-Row
5.5 oz White Wheat
5.5 oz Rye Malt
3.7 oz Flaked Rye
.28 oz Mosaic @ 60 mins
.28 oz Mosaic @ 5 mins
.28 oz Chinook @ 5 mins
US-05 Yeast was used
.24 oz Mosaic Dry Hop 7 Days
.12 oz Chinook Dry Hop 7 Days
.12 oz Citra Dry Hop 7 Days
Tasting 1
Color: Hazy brown orange
Smell: Fruit sweet with some spice
Taste: Malty rye juice fruit with some spice. Big bitterness in the back
Overall: Drinks like a big double IPA. Almost a syrup malt taste. Bitterness is a little high BeerSmith has this at 92.9 IBUs and it does taste like that.
Tasting 2
Color: Burnt Orange some haze
Smell: Candy Juicy fruit with a hint of spice and wheat
Taste: Dank hop bitterness. I think the bitterness covering up the spice.
Overall: You do get a little sweet fruit upfront with some citrus in the after taste.
