Rye Pale Ale v2
« on: February 11, 2011, 07:26:08 pm »
At the end of December, I posted a recipe for a Rye Pale Ale and got lots of good feedback from all of you. Thanks!

It turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. In fact the keg is about empty.  ;)

Anyway, I would like your input on revising the hop profile on this time.
The original is here: http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=5270.0
I used all Citra hops the first time, but think it could be better if I used a combination. I am thinking of changing the recipe to:

I've had good results when I use Amarillo and Columbus hops with Rye.

+1

I made a similar recipe for a Rye Pale Ale with Amarillo, Columbus and Simcoe that turned out great.
Primary: Limerick Session Stout, Hogsmeade Mild Ale
Secondary: Der Winterweizen Weizenbock
Bottled: will have stuff soon!
Drinking: Rogue Mead
On Deck: BowThai Ale, then something big and hoppy!
