Did a brewery tour yesterday and they brew a fantastic rye ipa -rust bucket by kinnegar and they only use 20% rye in it. Lots of crystal to get the colour apparently.
I also seen this stuff in the malt room but it’s not in their rustbucket.

I picked up some of that red rye crystal to potentially chuck in mine.
Brewed mine yesterday and wasn't happy with how many disasters I had so gonna re-do it and will be sending the new version lol

Rye is a nightmare to brew with but it’s not so much a hassle of doing biab
I did a 60% rye ipa a few years ago and in scorched when boiling and had to be dumped so this one will be stirred until it’s rolling
Nothing to do with the rye really. The main issue was the false bottom came loose on the GF so the pump stopped working and I ended up with green sludge in my fermenter. Not good. Very very very long mash!
What I would advise though is turning your grain to water ratio up a little bit if you're using rice hulls.

I am going to sit this swap out.
My missing ingredients are on their way from GEB. Hoping they arrive for a Saturday brew day as No.2 son will still be at home from uni and he really enjoyed doing the NZ Pils last week.
After explaining the style and the jeopardy with the high Rye content and the multi-step mash that includes a decoction, he announced that we‘re calling it ‘Rye Hard with a Vengence”. After coming up with ”The Pilsner of Azkaban“ last week, I think I know where his role in the outfit lies

Mine’s a boring name ( after that) Rye of the tiger
I don't have a name yet but I'm starting to feel that might be a harder task than brewing the beer!

I’ve the wrong glasses on and initially read that as “I’ve named mine scrotum”
Rye grain delivered today, with some yeast. Picked up a sack of MO pale at a bargain price of £24 so all set (I think!!). Just need to think of a name now for it. Maybe John's Ryvenge
Seeing as I'm having to re-do my beer as it's ugly, I might rename it 'Rye one, get one free'
Sorry going to show my ignorance here, I don’t get that.
My stuff I needed arrived today. So starting off doing a double starter which I’ve never done before, as my flask isn’t large enough. Step 1 a 1.3 ltr starter.
Where did you get you MO. For £24 from if you don't mind me askingRye grain delivered today, with some yeast. Picked up a sack of MO pale at a bargain price of £24 so all set (I think!!). Just need to think of a name now for it. Maybe John's Ryvenge
