Notes

This recipe was originally a kit called 'Black F-Rye-Day Pale Ale' from Adventures in Homebrewing. However, I changed it quite a bit.
I set my mill gap as tight as possible to mill the grain (except the malted rye) as close to flour as I could to ensure optimal extraction.

First wort hopped with .75 ounce Magnum and 1-ounce Spalt Select at 5 minutes.

Pulled 1 liter or wort from mash and diluted to 2 liters to make a starter. When I pitched the yeast I added all the wort back into fermentor, bringing gravity down to 1.073. Will add half a pound brown sugar to increase gravity by 4 points.

Will age on .75 ounce of medium toast oak chips that have been soaked in rye whiskey after fermentation is complete.
