I'm going to visit my dad for the weekend and he has grown hops for the first time. He has about 7 oz between challenger, Chinook, and cascade. Hes dead set on a 50/50 rye and wheat beer. Im down for the brew but being a rookie, im not sure how beta glucans work. I know it says rye and wheat can gum your sparge up but we biab so I dont think its an issue. Were looking to put 5.5 to 6 gallons into the carboy and dry hop the piss out of it. I think we're gonna bitter in the kettle with pellets and save the whole hops for dry hopping. Would 8 lbs of each rye malt and wheat malt make a good "homemade ipa" with the grain bill and dry hopping with homegrown hops? I would think with full volume and squeezing the bag I wouldn't worry about extraction too much. Not sure what yeast to use either. I was thinking 2 packets of us05.
