I never found a recipe so I rolled my own, started with an AHS Apocalypso all grain kit with some additions and a bit of inspiration from Edworts Haus Pale ale with regard to the addition of some vienna malt. I've previously brewed the Apocalypso which uses magnum for bittering and calypso for flavor and aroma and like it. I wanted to brew something a little higher gravity than I normally do (been doing a lot of session brews lately), and I wanted some rye in there.
This is my first time using beersmith2, so some of these numbers might look funky but the ingredients are right:

I have this in the fermenter now with some WLP 001 that I had washed and started with a stir plate for the first time. It's bubbling away - I'll let you know how it all works out. Next up will probably be a straight citra-based SMaSH
