Rye adds a whole new demension to the flavor of your beer. I suggest trying a one(or three). You have to give it a couple of sips (think of the first time you had a really dry red wine: you have to give the taste buds a chance to wake up) but it tastes so good once it hits your lips. I have a feeling this one is gonna have a high ABV....
Ingredients:
12 oz. Rye Malt
4 oz. Wheat malt
6 oz. Caramel 40L
4 oz. Flaked rye specialty grains
6 lb. Wheat liquid malt extract
1 oz. French Strisselspalt bittering hops
1 oz. Hersbrucker pellet hops
White Labs American Hefeweisen Yeast
Steep Grains for 20 min at 165. Add Strisselspalt hops and boil for 60 minutes. Add the Hersbrucker hops after 30 minutes.
OG: 1.048
FG: 1.010
ABV: 4.99%
Can't wait for the REAL Cincy Beerfest.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of beer, Jeff do you think you could track down some of the Cincy Brewery beer for Wesley's beer and cheese fest? From the beerfest the Amber and Dunkel were really good.
