hows this sound: i got carried away when ordering ingredients for a simple APA and wound up with this. it should be near IPA strength with good hop profile, dry and crisp, but i don't want the bitterness too be overwhelming, nor the hop bouquet, as i want it to be an easier to drink crisp IPA (searching for the elusive 'just right').
9 lb. 2-row
1 lb. malted rye
1 lb. flaked rye
6 oz. crystal 10
6 oz. crystal 20
1/2 lb. flaked wheat
chinook .5 oz (60)
cascade .5 oz (30)
(15)
(5)
(dry)
amarillo .25 oz (45)
(10)
(dry)
california ale yeast
pro-mash says it should be at 1.063 OG and 50.1 IBUs. im going to do a single step mash and probably batch sparge it. my main concerns are whether the hop balance is good and if there are any special considerations for using rye.
thanks-
