brew #010: every time i rye pale ale

My first completely all-grain beer and my mash was as brutal as their breakdowns. Consider this batch a first draft I will definitely make this again. It needs to be bigger, rawer. I want drop B in a bottle. I want this to be like a sledgehammer to an Orange amp. I guess I’ll get there in small steps.


A note to vistors: this is homebrewed. I made this in my kitchen and is it usually consumed there. Listening to metal. Alone. The only way to get some is to come to Chicago and bribe me with more beer.
