Hey all, I'm just getting back to brewing after nearly a decade and planning my second 2.5 gallon batch. I'm planning on a rye stout, and was wondering if anyone had suggestions or comments on the below recipe.
NB: this is a 2.5 gallon batch, in case it looks thin.

3lbs 8 oz maris otter
12 oz rye malt
6 oz roasted barley
3 oz chocolate rye malt
3 oz chocolate malt (British)
3 oz brown malt

single infusion mash at 156 F

Fuggles 0.75 oz @4.5% for 60 min

pitch WLP 002

Thanks in advance!
 
I've never done a rye stout, but I make a rye brown ale that is one of my favorite recipes. My recipe has 23.5% rye in it, so you might consider upping your rye, but it depends on what your going for. I've heard that brown malt can be a little dicey if not used in the right amounts. Here's my brown and recipe for reference of you're interested:

5.5 G batch, mash @ 152* for 60 min
Grains
6.5# 2 row
3# rye malt
2# biscuit
.75# chocolate malt 350L
.5# C60
Hops
.75 oz Columbus @60
.25 oz Columbus @ 20
1 oz Willamette @ 5
Yeast
Wlp007 dry English ale
Ferment @ 67*

Cheers!
