WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

I found it hard to locate an extract/mini mash recipe that is true to style. This is my take on an authentic Roggenbier. Steep the grains in a grain bag at 155f. for 30 minutes in 2 gallons of water. Drain liquid into boil kettle. "Tea bag" grain bag in 180 degree water to extract some of the remaining sugars. Drain that water into boil kettle and add enough water to bring kettle volume to 5.25 gallons. Heat to boiling and remove from heat. Stir in liquid rye malt extract (25% rye content) and return to boiling. Add 1 oz. Hallertau hops for 60 minutes. At 55 minutes add .5 oz Tettnanger hops and whirlfloc tablet (there will be more Trub than you want going into your fermenter). Cool to 64 degrees and pitch 3068 yeast starter. Ferment in primary for 7-10 days at 64-65deg. f. and bottle or keg (no secondary fermenter). I suggest bottling for conditioning and "correct to style" CO2 volumes and yeast sediment. If priming for bottling, aim for 3.5 to 4 volumes of CO2 for authentic carbonation and taste. Use good quality bottles. Preferably 500 ml German Weizen bottles. I do not keg my Weizens and Roggenbiers.
