Painful brew session. Was making a stab at this ryepa thing everyones been talking about. Problem is I was fiddling with my crush and I found out how fine is too fine. I got a permanently stuck run off. I dumped everything out of the tun, cleaned up the manifold dumped everything back in, still nothing. Hell is a place where you have sparge one strainer-full at a time. I ended up making the beer anyway, by this point I had nothing to loos on it. But I'll be surprised if anything good comes of it.

Rye A-- Pain
9 lb british two row
2 lb rye malt
1 lb crystal 60
.5 lb caramunich
.5 lb wheat
.75 oz fuggles 4.5aa FWH
.5 oz centenial 9.9aa FWH
1 oz magnum 15.1aa 60 minutes
Wyeast 1056
OG at this point I figured why bother?

It's fermenting so we'll see how it goes. I'm gonna chalk this one up to a learning experience.
