What does rye do to a beer recipe? Is it something to be added to an existing or should you create one around the rye. Got a couple pounds so just wondering.
Rye simply has its own flavor. Some people describe it as spicy. I'd look for a recipe that was designed around the rye rather than just adding it to the recipe you have.

2X on finding good rye IPA... Like a Green Flash Warrior! the beer is so balanced...9% ABV and you'll never know it until it's too late...
when used properly, rye will do your dishes for you and put away your folded laundry!

Road Warrior is :rockin:
I also enjoy Great Lakes Rye of the Tiger...yum.
Just bottled a rye APA using Briess's rye malt extract and a healthy helping of Nelson Sauvin. Turned out great.
For me, the "sweet spot" in using rye is about 20-25%. Any more than that, and the beer tastes weird and very thick. Any less than about 20%, and it's not very prominent.
