Any thoughts on the below recipe? I'm going for a drinkable Rye Pale Ale. I've never used Rye, though I like Rye beers (especially Cane & Ebel). Most of the ones I've tried are higher ABV beers, but I thought I'd go for an easy drinking one since summer is coming.
Is that enough crystal to slightly balance out the spiciness/fruitiness of the rye? The reason for the two types of crystal is I was planning on making another beer, and foolishly already combined the two types of crystal.
