Brewing Beer: Rye Pale Recipe
We're trying something new at Clawhammer. We're going to start brewing beer and documenting it, like we've done with distilling. We've always been homebrewers and are excited to share our passion for it with you. If you've never tried it, maybe these articles and videos will inspire you.
First up is a Rye Pale. This is a recipe that Emmet has been brewing for years. It's one of his favorites, and rightfully so. It offers that classic rye spice, but isn't too intense. It isn't super boozy either. It's a great spring beer.
Here's the video. Full recipe details are below.

Hi,
What was the ABV for this one?
Thanks in advance,

Interesting video, thank you. New to all grain and esp. this beer style. Complication, I work in metric but conversion no probs. What are your volumes please?
Dough in vol. Sparge vol. Final vol to fermenter?
Would be grateful if you can reply as would like to do with grains local to me.
Thanks and Cheers. :-)
