Taste nice !

At 2nd racking I tasted it and it is very refreashing like I hoped it would be. Hints of clove/bananna from the wyeast wheat yeast goes well with the rye malt. Should be great after it is carbonated and aged cold.

It is carbonated now and taste great

The first time I tasted it it was good even without being fully carbonated, now that it is, it really shines as a Rye ale. Very refreashing and the Rye gives it a unique variation of a german wheat beer. I will brew this again. Mikey

Did you make a second batch?

Mike, have you made this Roggenbier again? What did/would you do differently? Add some dark malt like Carafa II Special to give it a darker color?

I added 10 oz of Dark Dry Malt Extract, I also added 1lb of rice hulls, and changed the hopping to .5 oz Spalt (60 Min) and 1 oz Tettnang (30 min), every thing else stayed the same. Color came out at 11.3 SRM. This batch (#129) tasted even better than the #81 batch.
