Attempting first rye beer. Looking for a crisp, spicy hefe. Will enter comments after beer is finished. Racked to secondary after 8 days in glass. SG 1.024. Primary fermentation was at 65-70 degrees. FG 1.018 after 8 day secondary in glass. This beer turned out excellent, spicy with good clove nose. Has a "belgian" character to it, very drinkable.
