I went for galaxy and cascade combo, bittering with Magnum as I usually do. The updated recipe was non-specific about hops and SG, so I aimed for mid-fifties and 40 IBU(ish).Recipe Specifications

As an aside, I'm not quite sure how BeerSmith decides what IBU to attribute to steep additions. I can understand that additions at flameout will add IBUs until the temp is dropped to 80C or so, but for some reason BS doesn't increase the IBUs of other (pre flameout) hop additions to account for the stand. Not sure if that is right or wrong, but I would assume that since the hops are still in the kettle, then those 10 and 20 minute additions will keep adding something during the hopstand.
This was my first rye mash for quite a while, and foolishly I decided that since I now condition my grain and "no sparge" (and have a very thin mash at 6-5L per kg), that I wouldn't have an issue. Wrong - I got stuck recirc 3-4 times whilst hermsing and had a very slow run-off to the kettle. Got there in the end, however, and ended up with 21L @ 1.053 which I was pretty happy about (note the recipe above assumes no losses throughout the system, hence 23L target - I find it much easier to match my numbers up when using BS in this way).
only one pic:
pitched a 1.5L starter of gen 3 WLP090 at 19C. I'm looking forward to trying this one.
