Batch #121: Coriander Rye Pale Ale

With Summer right around the corner, here's a thirst-quencher, made from Rye grains raised in our Roaring Fork High School edible forest garden.  Don't worry, the high school students don't get any of the beer, but they did get some of the grains for baking bread.

The label photo shows part of the high school "Growing Dome" greenhouse in the background, which was nearly surrounded by our grain trials, all non-GMO and Organic, of course.  The Rye grain adds a subtle sweetness to the Ale, and is combined with floral tones added by ground coriander seed.

We're back into weather conducive to outdoor brewing, so this is the first 10-gallon, all grain brew of 2012.  Here's to a productive Summer!
