    Magnum

Notes

This recipe is for a clone of Rye Ale brewed in Athens GA. I take no credit for this recipe, I contacted Terrapin Brewing and they gave me approximate specifications on their "Terrapin Rye Ale" ... It is awesome, and very hoppy. If you have ever tried this, you'll be dying to make it ... Good luck HOP HEADS ... Mash at 154F for 60 minutes, Sparge with 170F water. Boil for 90 minutes. Follow this hop schedule .4 Oz. Yakima Magnum - 60 minutes 1.0 Oz. Fuggles - 30 Minutes .5 Oz. E.K. Goldings - 20 Minutes .5 Oz. E.K. Goldings - 10 Minutes .5 Oz. Cascades - 0 minutes 2 Oz.

OK, we are drinking it ... this is spot on to the "Terrapin Rye Ale". Big, bold and major hop head lovers beer. 2 oz. of Armarillo dry hops ... WOW ! ! ! Specifics: Made 10 gallon batch OG 1.060 FG 1.013 7 days primary 14 days secondary to clear the dry hops out. Very good batch

I've used this recipe twice with great results. Drank a lot of these in college at UGA and when I moved to DC after college, it's nowhere to be found. Brewed it up with this recipe and it brought be back immediately. Good job!

Have you tried the new Sweetwater Rye Ale

2011-08-21 6:21pm

I love the Terrapin and will make this (although I probably will stick with my experience base and convert to a partial mash). Have you tried the new Sweetwater Rye Ale? Bottle says it is made with 25% rye malt.
