Sounds good. I agree, I really like rye too. Used rye malt to 20% of grain bill recently and really enjoyed it.

I've got grains incoming from Geterbrewed including some rye.
What's the %tage of rye to use? from those that have made a rye beer before. I like a good rye beer but I'm unsure of how much to put in my grain bill.
