    My brewing friend and I just put together this recipe using 90% ingredients we have on hand, only needing to buy yeast, base malt and an ounce of hops. We also wanted to experiment with a semi-continuous hop addition. Hoping we put together a killer beer.

    5 Gallon AG Batch - 90 Minute Boil

    Grain
    13lb. Briess 2-Row
    3lb. Weyermann Rye Malt
    1lb. Flaked Oats

    Hops - 6oz. Total
    1oz. Galena @ 60min.
    .71oz. Falconer's Flight @ 60min.
    .71oz. Falconer's Flight @ 50min.
    .71oz. Falconer's Flight @ 40min.
    .71oz. Falconer's Flight @ 30min.
    .71oz. Falconer's Flight @ 20min.
    .71oz. Falconer's Flight @ 10min.
    .71oz. Falconer's Flight @ Flameout

    Looks big and bitter. I'd add a little something for color, but that's really just preference. Good luck!

    hoping you have some rice hulls on hand. Also move at least the 60, 50, 40 addition of Falconer's to 10 mins & under and a DH addition, i think you'll be happier. Obviously disregard if you're really interested in trying this.

    have brew big RIPAs several times. rice hulks is a must. also a higher grain to water ratio (1.5 or so) and a a mash out by adding boiled water (to increase the grain to water ratio even more) helps a lot. i would replace the flaked oat with flaked rye. I like using both (malt and flaked) in my ripas. I think the 90 min boil will bring some color to the beer. the rye malt too. look tasty though. i like to keep the ripas light so you can really taste the rye. a llot of times RIPAs are also very big red/amber beers.
