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
Perfectly cloned!

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!
So glad you made it

Have you tried the new Sweetwater Rye Ale

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.
