Catch Her in the Rye
Specialty Beer • All Grain • 5 gal
I`m shooting for a dry, crisp ale with a bitter bite and am curious about the taste of rye in beer. If it`s anything close to using wheat I`m sure I`ll be pleased. The added corn sugar is strictly for a light cidery flavor, and the nugget hops will add a bitterness like that of esb, I hope. 8) Brewing this today (2-16-03)
