brew #013: every time i rye pale ale, v2.0
IT COMETH. AGAIN. This is a beer I really want to nail down. Homebrewing is all about learning and experimenting – rebrewing however allows you to learn from your previous mistakes. Last time, I was disappointed by the rounded bitterness and lack of real tang. This time, with help from SlovakBrewer’s grain mill and improved water chem knowledge, I pulverized this mash and hit all my targets. I have changed my recipe significantly but the vision remains the same. Ill let you know how it works out.
