The Rye Viking Zythos IPA

The Rye Viking Zythos IPA

American IPA • All Grain • 10 gal

tbertsch

Overhopped Rye IPA, base recipe from my LHBS, modified for all grain and added Rye Malt after a discussion with local master brewer at Arcadia in BC? Early tapping reveals a very dry beer but solid flavor. I expect it to mellow a bit over the next 10 days.

Ingredients (All Grain10 gal)

  • 12.00 lbs 2-Row Brewers Malt; Briess

  • 7.00 lbs Maris Otter; Crisp

    Maris Otter; Crisp

    An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

  • 3.00 lbs Rye Malt; Briess

    Rye Malt; Briess

    Deep red color with a distinctive earthy flavor. Characteristics & Applications: • Because of its pronounced rye flavor, we using in 5% increments until desired flavor is achieved. • Rye Malt is fully modified. It performs well in a single temperature infusion mash if used at less than 20% of total grist. Over 20% a slow lautering time may be experience. Add rice hulls when using more than 20%.

  • 1.0 lbs Crystal Malt 10°L

    Crystal Malt 10°L

    Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales. Characteristics & Applications: • In contract to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

  • 0.5 lbs Amber; Crisp

  • 2 tsp Irish Moss - 15. Min from end (omitted from calculations)

    Irish Moss

    A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.
