Black Rye IPA, All-Grain

(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.066  FG = 1.015
IBU = 71  SRM = 35  ABV = 6.5%

Ingredients

11.5 lbs. (5.2 kg) Belgian 2-row malt
15 oz. (0.41 kg) rye malt
7.2 oz. (0.21 kg) caramel crystal malt (40 °L)
7.2 oz. (0.21 kg) flaked oats
6.8 oz. (0.19 kg) Carafa® II malt
5.oz. (0.14 kg) chocolate malt
1 tsp. Irish moss (10 min)
gypsum (per your water profile)
9.1 AAU Centennial hops (60 min.)(0.91 oz./26 g at 10% alpha acids)
14 AAU Centennial hops (30 min.)(1.4 oz./40 g at 10% alpha acids)
0.45 oz. (13 g) Centennial hops (0 min.)
1.4 oz. (39 g) Simcoe® hops (dry hop)
SafAle US-05 yeast
3/4 cup corn sugar (if priming)

Step by Step

Mash with a liquor-to-grist ratio of 1.25 qts./lb. (2.6 L/kg). Single step infusion mash at 154 °F (68 °C) for 60 minutes. Two-batch sparge at 168 °F (76 °C). The total preboil wort is 6.4 gallons (24 L). Boil for 75 minutes. Ferment until airlock activity has dropped off but not stopped, ~7–10 days, as you want the fermentation to produce enough CO2 in the secondary to blow off the oxygen in the headspace. Rack to a secondary fermenter along with 1.4 oz. (39 g) of Simcoe® whole hops (no bag) for 14 days. Let the beer condition for another week in the secondary. Bottle or keg to 2.5 volumes CO2. Recipe scaled from 11 gallons (41 L) and adjusted to 65% extract efficiency.
