December 8, 2023 - Red Rye IPA
Red IPA
OG: 1.070
FG: 1.017
IBU: 68
SRM: 13
ABV: 6.9%
Recipe was for 5 gallons.
Grains:
7.63 lb Pale Ale (54%)
2.00 lb Liquid Malt Extract (14%)
2.00 lb Rye Malt (14%)
1.75 lb Munich 1 (13%)
0.50 lb Crystal 40 (4%)
0.13 lb Roast Barley (1%)
Hops:
0.6 oz Galaxy 15.5% (30 minutes)
1.5 oz Galaxy 15.5% (hop stand)
1.5 oz Cashmere 7.6% (hop stand)
1.5 oz Galaxy 15.5% (dry hop)
1.5 oz Cashmere 7.6% (dry hop)
Water:
Well water with estimates for mineral content and some gypsum added. Probably moderately hard without too many carbonates.
Yeast:
Mangrove Jack Voss Kveik
I went with this style this year because I didn't have any large bottles so decided if you're only getting 341ml it had better be strong. Also I put this off so I needed something that would mature quickly, so that pointed to IPA. Then I let my kid pick the colour and added rye because rye is good. Red and/or rye IPA is my go to IPA anyway.

Re: December 8, 2023 - Red Rye IPA
I enjoy a nice rye IPA now and then as well, and this was no exception. The spiciness from the rye malt was on point. Maybe a little hazier/murkier than I am used to, but it went down the hatch without a scratch.
I did not know MJ had a Kveik strain, but then again I haven't really lingered around the dry yeasts lately at my local brew shop; I've only ever brewed with liquid kveik strains from Escarpment.
I find Voss is usually very recognizable somehow... kind of like when you know a band or an artist from just a snippet of a song... I suppose that's probably blatantly obvious to people who actually know what they are talking about when it comes to evaluating beer (which I do not) - but I feel like it usually ferments pretty much the same way, and I could pick it out of a police line up probably 80% of the time. It doesn't get in the way, but it doesn't really add a hugely unique contribution on its own... which is fine - and even more so when it is fast af.

Re: December 8, 2023 - Red Rye IPA
Yay, Red Rye IPA! I make at least one of these every year; and it's on my list of things to brew over the holidays.
I'm surprised this is fermented with Kveik because it doesn't have the Kveik "character" that I usually recognize (and don't love, hence not using it myself). It does have some spiciness, but I am very firmly on Team "Rye is not Inherently Spicy." I was getting the spiciness before I checked what this was, so if it's not psychosomatic, I'm guessing it's probably from from the Cashmere. Tasty beer, I would like another, please.

Re: December 8, 2023 - Red Rye IPA
Noice collab with amartin Jr! i was initially going to guess Rye IPA, but then I thought I might have been biased, 'cause I had a Black Rye IPA, which was bonkers apparently, ...but appreciated! . frikkin' 6.9%!? I make a note not to read to recipes until after i've enjoyed, but sometimes I wish I would know when to pace myself on a delicious and *hic!*. strong brew. thank you for sharing!

Re: December 8, 2023 - Red Rye IPA
The beer itself threw me off, I am just having it now and didn't look up what it was. I was like this is very murky so didn't know what I was getting into. Well I am pleasantly surprised, not being a super big hophead these days this is very good. I am a sucker for anything Rye and I picked that up right away. Would also drink another please, very tasty and thanks for the share.

Great rye presence from the aroma that carried in to the flavor. Enjoyed the hop pairing too. Solid beer!

I liked this upon first taste. Murky brown accentuated by rye spice and bitterness. Perhaps the yeast contributed to a bit of excess bitterness. Nice beer though.

Re: December 8, 2023 - Red Rye IPA
I compared this to bourbon soaked peaches. an absolutely incredible beer. Rye IPAs are one of my favourite styles, and this accentuates everything I love about them.
