This is my first attempt at a recipe (aside from a SMASH). I was trying to make it fit BJCP 14B guidelines for an American IPA. Cara-Pils was added for head retention and the Rye was put in to add a touch of spice, but I don't want it to be overpowering so it would taste like a Rye IPA.
Some ideas I was playing with was using Cascade as the FWH instead of Amarillo. If I did that I would have a 5 minute Cascade addition and also change the dry hop to .5 oz of each Amarillo, Simcoe and Cascade.
The goal was to make a beer that is extremely hoppy flavor wise, but well balanced between malt/IBUs. Any suggestions would be very helpful. My experimenting has still be limited and while reading is helpful it doesn't give a full idea of the flavors. I wasn't sure if my grain choices were the best and maybe my hop additions or choices could use some tweaking? Any advice would be appreciated!
