Bye Bye Ms American Rye



Wife and child are away, so I'm using the down time to brew a simple Rye Ale, a super sessionable 1.042 original gravity Rye Ale brewed with American Rye Malt, American 2-Row, Liberty hops and US-05 yeast. It's a pretty simple, straightforward beer, so i used the time in between to bake some break and make the dough for several breads i'm going to bake and take to Ca. tomorrow for Easter.

Grist:
6lb Rahr 2-row Pale Malt
1.75 lb Briess Rye Malt
1lb Briess caramel 40l

Hops:
.80oz Liberty 60 min
1oz Cascade 10 min

Yeast:
US-05 Dry (starter for Rye IPA)

Mash in 3.4 gallons water, 161 degrees, target 152
Mash out 1 gallon boiling water
Sparge 3.25 gallons 185 degree water

Target OG 1.042
Actual OG 1.045
