Revisionist Rye Pale Ale

Post by Dunlambert » Wed May 13, 2015 2:26 pm

HI
Ive just got back into brewing again after a long hiatus, managed to brew my old faithful general stock ale as my first attempt which came in a bit strong was aiming for just over 5% and it came in over 6%. Next came Seymours Citra Dark which should be ready to try this weekend, and finally Seymours Citra Gold which is dry hoping right now untill the weekend.

So I am looking to brew something now to fill my last new corny. I really love the Tesco Revisionist Rye Pale Ale so would love to have a go at something like that, does anyone have a recipe for the same or something close ? [-o< Thanks

Don't have a particular recipe for this but I've got a Ghost Ship inspired brew which had 4kg Pale Malt, 500g CaraRye and 100g of Citra late and the Citra has completely overpowered the Rye at this stage. So watch out for that.

As it turns out, after more than a couple decades doing this hobby I am also going to try my first rye pale ale this weekend. My grist is pretty simple 15% malted rye, 1/2 a pound of honey malt (light crystal) and the rest American 2 row pale ale malt. The planned O.G. is 1.048 and I'm going for 32 IBU's. I'll use Warrior for bittering and a combination of Amarillo and Simcoe for late and dry hopping ('cause yeah, I'm a low cohumolone kind of guy). Should be a rather easy drinker and I want the rye to come through but not be particularly agressive (I figured 15% was a good place to start). Because my next effort is going to be an Anchor Steam type beer I'm using California Common Lager yeast and I'll ferment at about 60F which should give me some esters but when compared to say a British strain be pretty clean. My main concern is using up some of my 30lbs of American 2 row (I keep winning the stuff at club meetings, got another 10lbs last night) and using the afore mentioned yeast but other than that I am open to suggestions as I have not yet purchased the remaining ingredients.
Drinking:Saison (in bottles), Belgian Dubbel (in bottles), Oud Bruin (in bottles), Olde Ale (in bottles),
Abbey Triple (in bottles), Munich Helles, Best Bitter (TT Landlord clone), English IPA
Conditioning: Traditional bock bier, CAP
Fermenting: Munich Dunkel
Next up: Bitter (London Pride like), ESB
So many beers to make, so little time (and cold storage space)
