Notes

I have brewed this beer a few times now. I believe this to be the final version at this point. Hops can be swapped out for any American west coast style hops, but I recommend Citra + Simcoe and/or Idaho 7.

Maris and wheat as the base, and ~7% C40 + Honey malt to add some sweetness, and balance out the 14% rye. Don't skip out on the Maris, as something like standard 2-row will not stand up to this grain bill. Pick a flavorful basemalt if not maris.
Previous bill was 10% rye which resulted in a very light rye flavor in the finish which made for a great West Coast IPA, but not a very impressive Rye IPA.

Boil is Centennial, Simcoe and Citra to 40 IBU's (bump up to ~65 if you want to follow the BJCP guidelines I don't think it needs the extra bitterness though). Whirlpool and Post fermentation Dry hop of Idaho 7, Citra, and Simcoe for big fruity notes as well as some pine, resin, and American hop dankness.

I like to ferment the Voss at around 70-75F during high krausen with a big starter to ensure clean flavor profile. Cool down to ~65F prior to dry-hopping. Can be swapped out for any clean yeast.

I like to do a water profile with a ratio of around Cal:sul 1:3 or so to bring out the crisp dry finish. Can also add a bit of sugar to dry this one out with success.
