Beer has only been kegged for 4-5 days so the carbonation is still evening out the hops in the keg are still working their magic but this is a very nice beer. I think it will probably taste even better after I get through the cloudy stuff at the bottom of the keg. It's noticeably less cloudy today compared to last night so I think I'll be into the good stuff soon.

Did you make 5G or 10G?if you made 10G you can drink now, while the other one gets Gooder...! then compare notes later on, to see what you think is a majic number for best results.I tend to find that 4-5 weeks is a good average.but man it's not easy waiting for it.

it's funny - after drinking the rye ipa i'm now drinking my india brown ale which also utilizes columbus and is fairly malty I can really tell the diff in the yeast. (denny's fav 50 versus london ale III)

2 week dry hop started on 11/21

See, the vegetal harshness from my last dry hop must have just been a shitty choice of hops, because I only let those hops party in there for 1 week.Glad it's tasty! I need to try that recipe sometime real soon.

This truly is a great beer. I have brewed this each of the past two summers. This was the first year I didn't get around to doing it, getting the brewery started has taken precedence. Its a great beer though brew it if you can you won't be disappointed. Denny has created a winner for sure!!Mike

Just got around to having another sample and without a doubt this is the best IPA I've made. Everything is exactly where I'd like it to be. I wish it was a little more clear but I guess maybe it will take a little longer to clear up b/c of the rye. Fantastic recipe! I'll def be getting this into the rotation a couple of times a year!

Glad ya like it!
