>>> Belgian Rye Black IIPA!!!
Swinging for the fences with this one. The recipe started out as a straight up west coast
IIPA, rich with pungent and citrusy hops late in the boil and in the fermentor. 20% of the
base malt was swapped out for rye malt and 10% chocolate wheat found it way in as well.
To finish it off it's fermented warm with a slight underpitch of WLP500, the Chimay yeast
strain. Should I go all in and oak half of it??? Only time will tell...
