My newest batch is a Rye Pale Ale

- 1lb Honey Malt (25.0 SRM)
- 0.5lb Cara-pils (2.0 SRM)
Hops
- 1 oz Columbus (11.8%) – 60min
- .5 oz Centennial (8.60%) – 15min
- .5 oz Centennial (8.60%) – 5min
Yeast
- WyEast American Ale XL
Mash at 154 F for 60min
This one went pretty smoothly – very little spillage, not too much mess, which was awesome considering it was my first all-grain.
Doing an all-grain alone, by the way, would be a PIA – you need a second person to hold the grain while you sparge. Luckily Kyle was free that day and was curious enough about the process to go out to Brew & Grow with me and help me out a little.
I wasn’t stoked that I had to use hop pellets for the bittering hops, but they didn’t have whole leaf that came close to the recipe I was trying to follow.
OG 1.060 @ 90F
I’ll be bottling (hopefully) this weekend.
