Since there is a heatwave in my area and the basement I ferment in is at a steady 74 degrees I feel it is only really suitable to brew Saisons.

Right now I really want to brew a Rye IPA using Saison yeast but I am not sure if I have to make any adjustments to the grain bill in order to not get something bad. If anyone has any words of advice let me know.
 
One of the nice things about saison is that since it is a farmhouse beer just about anything goes so long as it is lightly hopped and you use good yeast. A good base of pale malt, some 5%ish hops, and 1lb of rye should do just fine. If you are doing extract you will want to do a mini-mash to get the spiciness from the rye.

What's your recipe and what yeast are you planning on using?
