I made this recipe once before but without the rye and used S05 - it came out great and decided to see what some rye would do just because...

TBH I'm not sure 1lb of rye would be a noticeable change in the flavor/mouthfeel with that much wheat already in the beer. I would considering upping it to 50/50 wheat/rye to better see what it brings to the table.

I'm actually brewing my own version of this tomorrow. I'm using 30% rye and only 1lb of two-row. I'm using wheat extract on this one to avoid worrying about a stuck mash.

I'm doing this as well. My recipe is:

3.5 lbs Wheat
2.5 lbs Pilsner
.5 Lbs Rye
.25 lb Crystal 10
3068
Noble hops.

I'm curious to see how it'll taste. Although I doubt the rye will have much effect on the overall character. It's only like 8% of the grain bill.

This is for a 3.5 gallon batch btw.
