Rye IPA is a hop-forward American IPA with added complexity from rye malt. Tangy, slightly spicy rye notes create a dry backbone that enhances hop bitterness and aroma. A blend of Chinook, Cascade, Citra, and Amarillo hops delivers bright notes of grapefruit, orange, and pine, while the rye malt adds a distinctive earthy spice. The finish is dry and assertive with a golden amber color and moderate to high bitterness. This is a bold, expressive IPA with real character.

  • Sparge: Rinse the grains to collect sweet wort.
  • Boil: Add Chinook and Cascade hops for bittering, then Citra, Chinook, and Amarillo at whirlpool for bold aroma.
  • Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated. Dry hop with Citra, Chinook, and Amarillo for intense citrus and pine aroma.
  • Dry Hop: Add hops during fermentation for enhanced aroma
  • Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks from brew day to glass.
