Brew Day June 17th, 2007

Time to make an IPA again so in two months when the current keg of IPA is emptied, one will be waiting in the wings. This time it is a version of Denny Conn's Rye IPA, so far the only time I blatantly copied someone else's recipe. But since this beer is known to be one of the best out there, I succumbed. I'm kicking up the alcohol and the rye content this time though, and trying Chinook hops.
