just mashed in - since I only had 1/2lb of carawheat I just went with that instead of 3/4lb. We'll see what happens

first bottle wasn't super carbed at almost 2 weeks but other than that I like this. The rye def gives the impression of a slick mouthfeel and this beer is murkier than anything I've ever made. A very nice beer though.

damn it! 2nd bottle wasn't very carbed either. I just stuck another bottle in the fridge that was from the beginning of the bottling bucket instead of the end. we'll see if this makes any diff.

rut roh - seems I have some uneven priming in this batch. I took a bottle from start of my bottling run and it was fully carbed. Either that or my capper is busted b/c this carbed bottle had a flip top. I guess I need to try one from the start that was capped to be sure on that.

so good news - just cracked a bottle from the end of the bottling run and it's carbed just fine so this recipe was similar to my dunkelweizen recipe but with a little less caramel/crystal type malts and of course the wheat was replaced with rye. All in all it's very similar to the dunkelweizen. I can faintly detect the rye in the nose (I think) and the mouthfeel is def more slick. The aftertaste also has a hint of rye I think. I'd say if you are thinking of making one of these beers don't be scared to start out at 50% rye and do it up right.
