Batch 125, Denny Conn's Rye IPA

We did this for a club group brew at my house. Small crowd, but good fun. Just 3 brewers, David, Bob, and myself, plus some help from Steve P, Niko, and Don. We made 30 gallons all together, so everyone left with 5 gallons each.

I copied this straight from Denny's page:

Sep 1, update: added dry hops.

Sep 22, update: Went to rack to a keg today. What is this? I've never seen bubbles like that. Looks almost moldy, maybe. The hydrometer sample tasted okay, so I kegged it. Knowledgeable people from my brew club say it's a pellicle.






Dec 27, update, it's still in the lager fridge, just waiting. I'm afraid to put it on tap. Someday...

Batch Notes
Actually measured 7 grams instead of 1/4 ounce, it works easier with my scale.

Half of the 20 minute hops are actually FWH, the other half are actually at 20 minutes.

Mash at 156F for 60 minutes, collected 14 gallons.
