This is a recipe that im thinking of, but open to suggestions on changes.
75% eff
5.5 gal
7lb pale malt 60.9%
2lb rye malt 17.4%
1.5lb smoked cherry wood malt 13%
1lb 60L 8.7%
O.G. would be 1.054
F.G. Est 1.013
SRM 10.2
mash 154 for 60 min
Boil 60 min
Yeast: Wyeast 1056 or 1450 Danny's Favorite 50
ok, this is exactly what im trying to do... when i think of rye i think mainly of whiskey/ bourbon... ( i don't want to add any of that to this) so i figure rye and smoke malt would complement each other fairly well, i would love to strictly stick with American everything this is why im going cherry malt instead of peat.
I dont want to over power the pale with smoke but i want the flavor to be there, im not sure if 1.5lb is too much or too little
Plus im not to experienced with smoke malt, im trying to think of hops that could complement smoked malt and rye vary well (im thinking Chinook through and through, but i really have no idea) putting the IBU's on the higher end of 50ish to 60ish (which would put it in the IPA range)
im on the boarder of making this an ryeIPA or an ryeAPA
any suggestions or help would be appreciated...
