I've been wanting to brew a Rye IPA before this summer ends, so the timing was perfect. I used pellet hops for everything, except the hop steep after flame out. Using the 6:1 (5:1) rule for wet hops: pellet hops, the hop steep addition should be equivalent to 2.5 - 3.0 ounces of pellet hops.There is nothing too special about the grist on this beer, as I am looking for the wet hops to dominate the beer. The grain bill is mostly 2-Row, a little crystal, carapils, and rye malt. The rye malt only makes up 13.3% of the grist, which is fairly mild for this style. I am going to see how it turns out, but may up the rye malt for future batches.
