I'd probably move the 25 and 15 minute additions closer to the end but other than that it looks good. What crystal are you going to use?

 

[mrskunk]

woops forgot that part, 80l

 

[mrskunk]

the rye extract is 10% caramel 40, anyone think the caramel 80 with that will be too much?

 

[JonK331]

Hmmmm 10% is about right. I'd probably not use the 80L. I've been preferring my beers a bit dryer lately though.

This is coming from someone who doesn't like crystal, but I think you could easily skip the crystal, since it's in the extract already. When I make a rye amber IPA type deal, I usually use Victory with a heavy hand. I also use spicy hops (crystal, willamette, mt hood, anything German) alongside citrus hops. Your beer looks tasty as is, however.

I made a rye IPA with centennial and it was superbo. That recipe looks good. Can't comment on the extract, zero knowledge there. Hops look great.

I've brewed this Rye IPA 3 times now. This current batch I have is going to the NHC this year, so I'm crossing my fingers. Comes out a great brite red color. With the Pacific Ale yeast the fermentation is SLOW...primary for about 20 days of active fermentation (at 66 degrees)
