I am looking at making a Black Rye IPA or Rye Cascadian Dark Ale depending on what you want to call it. I found a recipe I like for the Black IPA part of it. My question is, how much Rye should I add? Here is the recipe for the Black IPA:

3.5 to 4 lbs. My opinion could be wrong.

Just replace about 1/4 to 1/3 of your base malt with rye malt and you'll be good to go. Rye will make the mash a little thicker than you may be use to. I usually mash out to make the mash a little thinner and hotter to avoid a stuck mash.

You don't want to go over 20% rye in your grist. 15% to 20% is what I would shoot for.

I used 2 lbs in a 10 gallon recipe. If you use too much it can get a sharp flavor. I wouldn't do more than 3 lbs in a 5 gallon batch.

Yep, a couple pounds should do you. Most reliable recipes I've seen for Rye IPAs (e.g., Denny's Rye IPA, Bear Republic's Hot Rod Rye, Founder's Red Rye PA) use 1.5-2.5 lb of malted rye.

This should be carbed and ready to drink Saturday. The sample while bottling tasted pretty good. The rye was there but not overpowering. I will report back after I have had a carbed up sample.

I would be interested if someone else made this to see what they think.

I just did an IPA with Rye using only 4.5% Rye, still I can taste it clearly without it being strong or overly spice.

I will bottle and keg it next weekend

I had a bottle last night and I must say this is my best beer to date. The dark malts and the rye mix nicely with the citrusy hops. I was worried that it might have too much rye or too much hops, but neither ended up happening. The rye sits nicely at the back of everything and the hops are just right for my tastes. I am very pleased with the results and would definitely make this again.

I used your recipe above and my Red Rye IPA recipe for inspiration. I did steep the dark grains to keep as much Roasted flavor out of the beer.
