looks good to me... i just did 10 gallons of a rye ipa with a similar grainbill. only thing i'd add is 1-2 oz dryhop.

I was considering a dry hop with some left over centennial! We'll see if that gets done. Did you use a simliar % of Rye? How did it come through?

I don't know yet...just brewed sunday, but rye was 17% of my grainbill. I've done ryes before and feel 15-20% is a good range for rye.
