I'd like some feedback on this planned recipe for a Rye IPA featuring Warrior and Falconer's Flight hops. Thanks!
The recipe is based on Drew Beechum's "Falcons Gyre Rye IPA" from the Nov/Dec 2011 issue of Zymurgy, but I've diversified the grain bill a bit and spread out smaller hop additions, both in an attempt to add complexity (and just to experiment). I've also decreased the boil from 90 to 60 minutes - assuming that Beechum did the longer boil to build malt character from the Munich, but I've replaced some of the Munich with Crystal so thinking that won't be necessary for my version.
Anyway, here it is. I appreciate any comments or suggestions.
