Notes: Description: The old Reinheitsbegot (German Beer Purity Law) forbids the use of rye in beer, to which we say, "NEIN!" This refreshing beer mixes the spiciness of rye with the delightful banana/clove flavors of a hefeweizen, perfect for a hot summer day of 500+ year old rule breaking

* The recipe calls for "2 Cans Briess Rye Liquid Malt Extract" but it isn't available in the recipe tool.
** "Hop-Mod." I altered the recipe to make this a hoppy rye. The original called for 1oz Willamette for 60 mins and 1oz Saaz for 10 min.

Basic Guidelines:
Steep the crushed grains in 1.5 gallons of 160-degree water for 30 minutes. Remove and sparge into the boil kettle with the heat off add all extracts and sugars to the kettle and stir to dissolve completely. Carefully bring to a boil, stirring to avoid scorching and watching for boil-overs. Once a rolling boil is complete, remove from heat and begin to cool; an ice bath or a wort chiller helps to bring the temperature down quickly. When the wort is cool, add it to a clean and sanitized fermentor. Add water until the volume is 5 gallons if necessary. Once the wort has dropped to below 80-degrees, aerate well (don't forget to take a hydrometer reading) and pitch the yeast. Attach a blow-off tube and ferment at desired temperature for the yeast strain. Rack to a secondary fermentor when krausen (head of foam) has receded and beer begins to clear. After fermentation and conditioning are complete, bottle or keg your beer. Allow to condition and enjoy!

Notes: This Belgian Blonde tastes as if it were brewed by an all-grain method.

Extract brewing can be simple and rewarding! Note that while the equipment costs far less than the equivalent all-grain systems, the cost to let someone else create your extract over extracting the sugars from grains yourself is more expensive by about 20-50%.

*The bottles are on Amazon. Search Plastic Beer Bottles.
*You may use tap water and/or modify the water profile.

Additional costs include:

$24.57 An inexpensive Amazon stainless kettle from India
$26.97 A 6.5 Gallon Bottling & Siphonless Fermentation Bucket from Northern Brewer with the Spigot: Fermenter's Favorites Bottling Spigot for Bottling Bucket and with the Lid: Grommeted Lid (Drilled)
$8.99 20ft 3/8" ID Siphon Hose
$4.99 Fermenter's Favorites® Spring Tip Bottle Filler
$16.00 Five Star - Star San - 16 Ounce - Brew Sanitizer High Foaming Acid Anionic

A yeast starter is advisable for this beer as it needs about 160B yeast cells and the White Labs yeast packets come with about 100B yeast cells. If you don't want to make a yeast starter, it is advisable to pitch two White Labs yeast packets.

For a fermentation airlock, run a section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose from the grommet on the lid to the bottom of one of the gallon jugs filled with sanitizer solution in tap water, and place the gallon jug and the fermentation bucket at the same height. It is best to elevate the beer at the beginning of the fermentation cycle with the spigot facing the area where you will be bottling so that the trub is not disturbed during the bottling process. In other words, try not to move the bucket just before bottling. Primary fermentation ambient temperature is about 68f. Allow the yeast to ferment up to whatever temperature it prefers.

To bottle your beer, precondition each sanitized 16oz bottle with 1 Northern Brewer Fizz Drop. Attach a 5-8 foot section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose to the Fermenter's Favorites Bottling Spigot and the other end of the hose to the Fermenter's Favorites® Spring Tip Bottle Filler. Slowly open the spigot until it is fully open. Place the spring tip filler into the bottle and press the tip inward on the bottom of the bottle. Fill the bottle until the liquid reaches the top. Remove the filler and the bottle will be filled to the optimal height.

Secondary fermentation in bottles takes between 14 and 21 days. 17.5 is usually a safe number of days to allow carbonation to build.

To add a bit of perceived sweetness and rounded maltiness to the finished product try to get your PPM of Calcium and sodium to about 50. CaCl and non-iodized table salt or sea salt are fine for reaching this water chemistry. Your local municipal water company should have posted your water mineral content. If you are on well water, you can start with distilled/reverse osmosis water and build the water chemistry from there. Just use a PPM calculator.

Don't forget to sanitize everything including the outside rims of the brewing equipment and even the outside of the yeast packet.

Notes: Brewed 11/4. Yeast over 6 months old and visible activity did not start until 4 days later. Blew top off at 1 1/2 weeks. Todds basement.

Primary will be 3 weeks +. Need starter yeast next time.

Racked 11/28. FG 1.014. Secondary might be called for due to sediment and still sweet?

In Secondary for 4 weeks. Sweet results.

Notes: Soak nibs in vodka, freeze, scrap fat off. Pour liquid and nibs into secondary. I am adding 1 vanilla bean to this mixture to bring out chocolate flavor. I am debating cutting LME by 3-6lbs. I want this more of a easy to drink enjoyable chocolatey beer. No too much bitterness or alcohol twang.
