My goal here is to basically split Terrapin Brewing Co's
Rye Pale Ale (a session favourite of mine) and their
Rye Squared Imperial Pale Ale.
In doing so, I am aiming (as a test of my ability) for exactly 6.9% abv (around 1.069 O.G.) and 62.5 IBU's.
The first question is evident in my title...what kind of classification would this be? The Rye Pale Ale is just that, a Pale Ale...but the Rye Squared is an American Strong Ale. What's the middle ground?
Anyway, here's the recipe. I have the most questions on the hop schedule as that's still something I'm not too familiar with, so I will appreciate all suggestions. This is only my fourth batch, and second partial mash. I have set my efficiency around 65% to accomodate this...my first PM I only hit 60%. I think I can combat this, but I figured aim low and I'll feel better if I overshoot the O.G.
