Another take and twist on a rye IPA. I reduced the rye % from my last recipe and changed from a pure 2-row base to a 50/50 split of 2-row and Maris Otter. On the hop front I still have bunch of El Dorado to use and paired it with Simcoe and Mosaic this time.

Results: OG 1.073 / FG 1.013 / ABV 7.9% / IBU 74 / SRM 10.3

Adjusted Water – Ca 100 – Mg 5 – SO4 125 – Na 10 – Cl 75 (10g Gypsum, 6g CaCl)

Mash at 152° for 60 minutes then raise to 168° and hold for 10 minutes.  Collect 14 gallons and boil for 60 minutes. Produces 12 gallons at the end of the boil and 11 gallons in the fermenter.

I split the batch with two different yeasts.

1x – Fermentis Safale US-05 American Ale Yeast
1x – Lallemand LalBrew Verdant IPA

I am running a tilt hydrometer with tiltpi running on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. It’s neat to watch the gravity drop in real time and also helps with timing dry hop addtions.
