Rye IPA

[peteplus1]

Has anyone got a tried and tested recipe for a rye beer? I love the spice and tang of rye. How much to use etc? Currently drinking a lovely IPA by Odyssey Brew Co.

One of the best RyePAs I've tasted is Firestone Walker Wookey Jack, absolutely delicious. There is a clone recipe on HBT which apparently comes from their head brewer:

81% Pale Malt
10% Rye Malt
3% Cara-Rye
3% Carafa III
3% Wheat (Midnight)

Bittered to 62 IBU then loads of amarillo and citra late and dry hops

White Labs WLP002

Mash @ 64 for 60 min

Estimated Original Gravity: 1.080 SG
Estimated Final Gravity: 1.015 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Volume: 8.6 %


Ferment at 17°

Albino Squid Assassin is one of my favourite beers, you can get the recipe here https://www.brewdog.com/diydog

I'm currently toying with the idea of scaling it down for a lower ABV version for something I can drink more often

I forgot about this one of Brew Dogs. Yes it is a nice drink I've had it. Had the DIY download for a while just never thought to look. I did their Moshi Moshi which turned out lovely.

Like you I would be happier at a lighter version of this . Bit hefty for my tastes at 9.2% to drink a lot of. You'll have to let me know how you get on if you don't mind sharing?

Yep, I'll let you know when I get round to brewing it

This is my scaled recipe for ASA aiming for OG of 1.050, so around 5% ABV and 20L into the fermenter.
I'll hopefully be brewing this weekend, so I'll let you know in a month or so how it turns out.

Bottled my "Albino Prawn Assassin" at the weekend, tasted good from the sample jar.

OG was 1.052 and FG 1.010, so came out around 5.6%

This was also my first attempt at repitching slurry (in this case US-05) from a previous batch and it seems to have turned out nicely, so I repitched again from this batch into the next brew.
