I'd like to concoct a light, American rye style beer, but with German or noble hops. As a starting point I'm thinking of something along these lines:
8.25 lb Pale 2-row
1 lb rye
0.5 Crystal 20L
1 oz Hallertau FWH - about 8 IBU
1/8 oz Nugget (12.5% AA) 60 min - about 8 IBU
1.5 oz Liberty or Crystal 20 min - about 10 IBU
1.5 oz Halelrtau @ flame out
I don't want the rye to be too strong, so I'm looking at 10-15%. I'm considerting switching out the 2-row for Pilsner malt for a lighter feel. Basically I'm looking for a light beer with a bit of rye spice, and a nice balance of spicy/earthy hops. Looking at around 1.045-1.047, and 25-30 IBU.
Thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
