RyePA

With a reddish-golden hue and a good balance of firm body and lingering bitterness, this brew is a showcase of both hops and grain. The fruity/floral notes of Palisade hops are a perfect complement to the spicy flavor of rye malt.

Steep:
.5 lbs. Oats
.5 lbs. Briess Caramel 80

9.15 lbs Rye malt extract (70% two-row, 20% rye, 10% caramel 40)

Hops
17.6% alpha, 5.4% beta Summit pellets 1 oz. (60 mins)
7.8% alpha, 7.43% beta Palisade pellets 1 oz and 1 oz (15 and 0 mins)
8.9 alpha, 6 beta 1 oz Cascade leaf (.5 @ 30 mins, .5 @ 0 mins)

Started the water in the evening in anticipation of the UPS truck coming with the ingredients - just couldn't wait to get this goin. Beefed up the recipe with the oats (as an afterthought) and the Cascade (just because). Also, I messed up and was supposed to add only half the second Palisade at 0 mins, and dry hop with the second half oz, but I just put it all in. I'll either neglect to dry hop, or just get more.

Not much head space. Pitched Safale 05. Again, I don't have an OG reading, dropped and broke my hydrometer, and didn't remember to order a refractometer with this kit. It's nice to know the OG/FG, but it kinda doesn't matter, yah?

Cheered on by the end of a Sequoia Big Horn Red IPA growler and Hop Ottin's.

Day 5: Stopped the tailed off fermentation.

Day 7: Racked out and back off the yeast and hop dust.

1 Month: Taste test says it's still tight. A few more weeks of conditioning, at least.

Pulls - June 2

Just resetting the right shoulder, which has a pretty bad stinger goin' on. Sometimes, it's debilitating.

3x 10-12
Hamsting curl @ 110

3x 10-12
