I kegged mine yesterday. Might have the first official taste tonight. It tasted weird coming out of the fermenter.

Tried it last night. Very dry. Needs crystal and hops.

I smelled it in the secondary fermenter a few weeks ago, and I couldn't tell it apart from a wheat beer it was sitting next to. So I added too much hops and will bottle it Monday.

I have mine kegged for one week now... pretty tasty. Mine finished at about 1.015, which I think balances well with the hops. Can't really taste the rye, although I've never tasted rye beer before!

Mine was pretty malty, it smelled like I could make rye sandwich out of it. Here comes the dry hops :headbang:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

The first one I made tastes great, the rye really came through, but was really hazy. I assume it was a starch haze from the rye combined with a short mash time. I increased the mash time for Batch #2 and I put some irish moss, and it's much clearer.

I royally fucked up one batch, as I think I managed to use an English Ale yeast instead of a lager yeast. Needless to say, it finished extremely high, lol. So I pitched it onto the -05 cake from the batch that finished right and I'm fermenting it in the low 60's/high 50's. Should be done in a few days.

I've had my first batch bottled for a few weeks now and I think its pretty good. My only concern is I may have used too much crystal and may have masked the rye. I used 2 lbs (16%) of rye in this batch. How much did everyone else use?

15% in our SAAZ group brew. I'll probably rack and have a taste pre-dryhop on the weekend/next week.

I'm drinking the stuff that didn't make up a last bottle. It tastes like hops. So, success? I'm going with that.

Is that because you hopped it up like crazy or because all the hops settled to the bottom and that was what was left?

Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of that. That's probably part of it.
