Looks good - I have a similar one planned 3 batches from now, How's the taste? Can you get the Rye over the hops? or is the Rye under the hops?

If you're a hophead the taste is fantastic. Huge nose, solid bitterness, and a citrusy/floral assault on the tastebuds. It has only been in the keg for about a week so the rye is currently in the backseat with the late addition and keg hops driving but you can certainly tell there is rye in it. I'm not sure it is going to last long enough for the rye to make it to the front. It is difficult to keep my mitts off of it

I just kegged this recipe with a less agressive DDH and it smells wonderful, when I tried the hydro sample it was amazing as well. Now I'm anxious to give it a taste.

I just kegged another batch this morning myself. The first go round didn't last very long. Let me know your final thoughts on it and what you changed once it has carbed up. Enjoy!

Ok so I changed the Columbus to an equivalent aa of centennial just because I have a lot of it. I dry hopped with simcoe and Amarillo first for 8 days then kegged with simcoe and centennial(1oz each). This is definitely anIpa that needs about 2 weeks in the keg before its really ready but it's very nice if you have the hops. I try at least a glass every day and it has been improving steadily.

This beer looks great. But when I put the recipe into hopville, I get over 100 IBUs (5 gal post-boil). Any reason why that might be?

Changing the batch size along with using Rager instead of Tinseth will put it over 100. To be honest I don't pay much attention to the IBU calculations that any software program outputs. None of them are truly accurate. Have you ever put the Pliny recipe into one of the programs? The IBU's end up in the 200's which is impossible to actually achieve.
