Can't tell from your recipe, but I'd recommend you use rye malt, rather than flaked rye. Also, 1/2 pound of rice hulls if you fly sparge.

how did this turn out? i have been thinking of using some rye in my house blonde ale to give it that spiciness you find in lagers

It's been SO long. I remember really enjoying this one, but I messed up with the mash (not stuck) by not doing a protein rest and the beer came out very viscous. Otherwise the flavor was WONDERFUL. I'll be brewing this again for the spring.
