Looks pretty good. I made a red rye that was an attempt to clone Founder's Red Rye. Here was my recipe:

10 lbs 2-row
1 lb C-60
.5 lb C-120
.5 lb carapils
1 lb rye
1 lb flaked rye

mash at 152 degrees for 60 minutes

1 oz Nugget at 60 min
1 oz Amarillo at 20 min
1 oz Amarillo at 10 min
1 oz Amarillo at 5 min
1 oz Amarillo at 0 min

1 oz Amarillo dry hopped

OG 1.064
FG 1.014
77 IBUs
6.5% ABV


Tasted great. Color was spot on to Founder's. Needed more rye - it lacked the rye bite that Founder's had, but still a great beer. I plan on brewing this again soon, but I plan to double up on the rye.

Personally I would up the rye and lose the roasted barley. Round out the crystal to a full pound or a 120L variety for color if you concern about that kind of thing.

I make a rye that is very similar to this. Just a few differences.

I use 1.5lb flaked rye
I also add 2.5 oz special B + 4oz munich malt
and use all columbus

Comes out darn tasty

I think you've got too much crystal/caramunich. That adds up to 1/75 pounds for me. I'd cut it down unless you're looking for a sweet RIPA.

Looks good. I made a rye pale ale using Chinook and Columbus but I really wanted to emphasis pine, earth, etc. Recipe on left and at my website.

I too would drop the caramunich. You don't want it to be too sweet or you'll lose some of your hops to the sweetness
