I*D Rye Pale Ale

Seth Clearwater That is a lot of honey malt. I would drop it entirely for a pake ale. Swap in some Munich or Victory to add some character if you'd like

Denny Bannon I agree with dropping the honey malt. Munich will not affect the color but give your some flavor that will work in a pale ale.

Jordan Brown No honey malt. And that's a lot of crystal. Use more base malt or rye instead. I used 3 lbs of rye in the double rye pa I'm drinking now and I think it needs even more. I used 1 lb in my first rye pa.

Steve Thanos Like it’s been stated already too much honey malt and crystal malt. This will clash with the rye. Try adding either biscuit/victory. Up the rye malt too

James Adams Agreed ditch the honey malt. Half the crystal 30. Add a pound of chocolate malt.

Mark Johnson Don’t ditch the honey Malt but drop it to ~5%, lower the crystal Malt to one pound and either make it up with your pale Malt, or if you want to go crazy use some pearl malt to make up the difference. Not sure I’m feeling the galaxy with rye but to each their own...I’ve always liked centennial in a rye, but if you want something new perhaps glacier would be nice

Sam Lockwood ditch the honey altogether and too much chrystal (too much chrystal will make your beer end up cloyingly sweet)

oh and if you really want to make a rye then it should make up about 50% of the grain bill otherwise its just an adjunct IMO

David Minich My rye ale uses both rye malt and rye flakes. About 1.5 pounds of each

Zing BrewClub Sierra Nevada posted a homebrew version of their Ruthless Rye. It was one of the beers that really looked forward to each year. I have yet to brew it, but it's on my Fall To Brew List.

Robert Walker Yea, I'd agree, considering you probably want balance that's a lot of speciality malts. Most beer styles keep it under 10% in total, not including the rye

Vince Feminella Trim the crystal and honey malt to .25 pound each, boost the rye to 3.75 and the pale malt to 9.75 pounds. For that rye bread flavor try adding Caraway seeds to taste
