Directions | Mash @ 150 degrees F. Initially, this beer was supposed to be brewed with six row, but my LHBS was out. I may try that the nest time that I brew it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fermentation notes | Ferment @ 60 degrees F. At the end of fermentation, free rise to 65 degrees F for diacetyl rest. Cold crash, package quickly. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tasting notes | A little grainy/sweet up front, lots of caramel flavor, some great fruity esters, and an excellent earthy/spicy contribution from the rye. Bitterness is plenty to balance. Super easy to drink, the sort of beer that just begs for a refill. One of the very best beers I've ever brewed in more than four years of brewing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Credits | Lots of research into the style - start with the Wikipedia article on Kentucky Common and follow the links there. I thought that Revvy's well reviewed recipe was close to what I wanted to brew, so I used his for a template. |
