Another brain fart. Went to the LHBS a couple days ago to pick up some specialty malts, a few odds and ends and definitely to use a credit I had from prior purchases. Of course I knew that I had some Wyeast 1272 so I could make my half hearted (lightweight Two Hearted clone).Of course, no 1272 So I started some 1010 yesterday. So an Am Wheat, but then thought why not do an Am Rye, Cat 6d? Then brew a wheat after that.Anyone used this for a Rye? I am anyway but would love to hear any comments.

I used this last year in a beer that was pretty much 50% wheat and 50% Rye. Fermented it nice and cool, around 62 and the beer was a big hit. A nice easy drinking summer beer. I really like 1010. It is a pretty neutral yeast that cleans up very nice.Mike

Wow, never considered that. No barley? I don't know if I have enough rice hulls around to handle that but it sounds like something I could have my arm twisted pretty easily to brew.

I've brew American Rye Wheat's with it all the time; 50% Wheat, 25% Rye, and 25% 2-Row, with a little C-10 and Cara-Pils thrown in. I ferment it between 60-62', never used rice hulls, and it always comes out great.

We'll you all have me convinced to use Rye and Wheat. I may throw some 2- row in and probably a little special roast or something else. I've got a bit of rice hulls and will throw that in just because. Thanks for chiming in. Gotta drain a keg before I can brew though - shouldn't be a problem since a couple are on their last legs......... and the starter is just now kicking off.Hops - Noble or C-Hops? Can do either... Leaning towards Simcoe since it will make my wife very happy.

Well, I make mine for my wife and her friends too, so I keep it mellow and use Hallertauer Hersbrucker at 60 and 20, and use a little Cascade at 2 minutes; total IBU's around 25.

Think I used Willamette in mine .. have to checking the brewing notes that are on my work computer.

45- 50 IBUs will make my wife happier, and with Simcoe. She could care less about her friends wanting it More for the happily married hopheads... Except when another altbier is on tap......... or a stout......... etc. She's a keeper for sure.

"45- 50 IBUs will make my wife happier"What a deal? Lucky MAN!

And she thinks even starters, much less brew day smell wonderful. Double deal.

Wow DJ you are a lucky man. I couldn't get my wife to drink a full beer if I paid her. She puckers up badly when I have her try a hoppy brew as well.
